The article discusses the benefits of tracing requirements back to their origins before they are specified. The researchers looked at existing literature and surveyed practitioners to understand the advantages of this practice. They found that the benefits of tracing requirements early depend on the people involved, their tasks, and the project environment. Knowing these connections helps in realizing the advantages of tracing requirements early and encourages successful implementation of the necessary practices. The research supports the use of pre-requirements specification traceability and identifies areas for future study.
