   A business analyst is defining traceability granularity for two projects. Project A is a low-risk internal tool with 50 requirements and no external audit. Project B is a medical device with 2,000 requirements under FDA scrutiny. The BA must define a single organizational traceability standard that applies to both. What should the BA recommend?

   • ALet each project team decide its own granularity independently, with no organizational standard.
   • BApply the low-risk granularity to all projects to keep the standard simple and reduce administrative burden.
   • CApply the FDA-level granularity to all projects to ensure uniformity and avoid any risk of non-compliance.
   • DDefine a tiered granularity standard: full bidirectional requirement-to-test tracing for high-risk projects, and lighter-weight tracing for low-risk projects, with the tier determined by a risk assessment.
