The traceability practices that run on top of every lifecycle: one information model linking requirements, safety and cybersecurity goals, architecture, implementation, verification and validation to production genealogy and field data, kept under configuration control so every claim and every shipped unit can be traced in both directions.
Mapped onto 36 of 36 lifecycles: 432 of 432 stages and 683 of 683 gates have practices from this overlay.
Where traceability practices apply, lifecycle by stage
Each row is a lifecycle and each cell one of its stages, in order. A cell counts the practices whose phase matches the stage. Select a cell to open the stage, where the practices and the gate questions are listed.
