Root-Cause Matrix
This is the window where you can define root-causes and improvement suggestions for
the analyzed requirements. Root-causes and improvement suggestions are entered in
the left part of the table. In the right part of the table each requirement is
represented by a column. The results of this analysis can then be exported to an
Excel spreadsheet.
How to use this window:
- Add requirements from the Graph Window.
- To link a requirement with a row in the root-cause and improvement columns,
double-click in the cell in the requirement column and an "X" will appear. A
requirement can be linked with several rows and each row can be linked with
several requirements. To unselect, double-click in the cell again and the "X"
will disappear.
- If a whole requirement column shall be removed, click on the column header
to select and highlight that column. When a column is selected, it will be removed
if you press the Remove button. To deselect a column, click on the header again.
- You select the root-causes and improvements to include in the export by
selecting the row's Export checkbox. All requirements added as a column will
always be included in the export, this means that requirements that have not been
linked with a Root-cause will be included.
- If you need more rows in the table, press the Add Row button and another row
will be added.
