Link Requirements to Project Tasks

You can link the requirement to the project task that represents the effort to deliver this requirement as part of an implementation project. The linked project task is a separate relationship from the investment that owns the requirement. You can link a requirement to a task that is already linked to other requirements. However, you can only link a requirement to a single task.

When you link a requirement to a project task, the requirement is assigned to and associated with the task. You can initiate this relationship only from within the requirement.

Important! If you delete the associated task, the requirement is no longer associated with the project task. The requirement is not deleted.

See the Project Management User Guide for more information.
