Answer 1= Requirement Traceability is important as it makes sure that all the functional requirements which are implemented in the development fulfill the different requirements mentioned in the test cases on the basis of different artifacts. It makes sure the fulfillment of all the requirements in testing by the team and no functionality is being left out

Answer 2= the appropriate level of detail for the work breakdown structure can be determined with the help of “8 – 80” rule, As per this rule, the lowest level of work must be completed not less than 8 hours and it must not be extended more than 80 hours. WBS Dictionary or the Project Management Plan must include the Level of detail for work packets
