To validate that your development plan matches project requirements, you can use a requirements traceability matrix (RTM) validation tool to mechanically verify that every requirement ID in TASK.md is explicitly referenced in your PLAN.md atomic checklists.

Requirements traceability matrix conformance ensures that every planned task strictly adheres to initial product requirements, preventing scope creep by guaranteeing the development plan directly maps back to defined requirements.

Yes, you can enforce VDD-enhanced workflows by mechanically verifying requirements hardening. This validation acts as a gatekeeper before code development, ensuring your PLAN.md atomic checklists cover all RTM IDs from TASK.md.

The best way to prevent scope creep when validating atomic checklists is to run an automated conformance check that cross-references requirement IDs from your task document against your plan document before proceeding to code development.

Your RTM validation fails when requirement IDs are missing from the plan because the conformance check requires every RTM ID from TASK.md to be explicitly present in PLAN.md's atomic checklists to ensure full requirements coverage.
