Why each option
Problem tracking is the specific business analysis technique used to document and monitor requirements-related problems that must be resolved before a project can proceed.
Problem tracking is a formal technique in business analysis used to record, assign ownership to, and monitor resolution of problems identified with requirements that could block project progress. It provides structured visibility into each problem's status, priority, and resolution deadline. This ensures that requirements-blocking issues are actively managed and resolved in a timely manner.
Issue tracking is a broader project management concept for general project issues and does not specifically address problems with requirements that must be resolved by certain dates.
An RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix) is used to trace requirements to their sources, tests, and deliverables, not to track problems or resolution timelines.
Baselining is the process of formally approving requirements at a point in time to establish a configuration baseline, not a mechanism for tracking and resolving problems.
