Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 117

A business analyst (BA) was developing an outline of the timing of business analysis activities with the project manager. What factors may impact the timing of the activities the BA is performing?

Answer options

• A. Solution design
• B. Project manager's experience
• C. Contract terms
• D. Project sponsor interest

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as contract terms can dictate specific timelines and deliverables that directly affect the scheduling of business analysis activities. Options A, B, and D, while relevant to project execution, do not have the same direct impact on the timing of business analysis tasks as contractual obligations do.
