Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 118

A company is in the middle of a large-scale project. Safety concerns have been brought up by several stakeholders, and this has led to numerous proposed changes. The business analyst (BA) must now assess the impact that marking these changes will have on the project. When assessing the impact of safety concerns, which of the following should be considered?

Answer options

• A. Cost/benefit analysis
• B. Urgency
• C. Risk register
• D. Design

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as urgency is critical in addressing safety concerns, which can directly impact the well-being of stakeholders and the project's timeline. While cost/benefit analysis, risk register, and design are important, they do not take precedence over the immediate need to resolve safety issues.
