You neglected to track the origin of your requirements. Will producing a traceability matrix be a significant task for you?

Producing a traceability matrix after neglecting to track the origin of your requirements is indeed a significant task because it involves a thorough examination of all the elicitation notes and documentation that were originally created during the requirements gathering phase. A traceability matrix is intended to capture the relationships between the requirements and their sources, and without the originating information readily available, one must meticulously sift through various notes, interviews, meeting minutes, and any other artifacts that might hint at where each requirement came from.

This process can be time-consuming and requires careful analysis and verification to ensure that every requirement is accurately traced back to its source. Additionally, there may be misunderstandings or incomplete information in the elicitation notes that need to be clarified, further complicating the task.

In contrast, simply assuming that the other options would be feasible, such as thinking it wouldn't take long to recreate the origin information or that the requirements have already been implemented, overlooks the foundational necessity of understanding how each requirement was derived. Celebrating the developers tracking origin during implementation would also not alleviate the burden of reconstructing the initial context from which the requirements emerged. Thus, choice B correctly highlights the challenges and necessary effort required in such a situation.
