Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 172

A business analyst (BA) plans to hold a workshop next week to elicit requirements for a project. In an informal conversation, another employee mentioned that one of the attendees is likely to be unhappy about the project's impact on their work.
Which of the following techniques will the BA use to avoid disrupting the workshop?

Answer options

• A. Elicitation Activity Plan
• B. Collaborative Games
• C. Stakeholder List
• D. Risk Analysis and Management

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Risk Analysis and Management, as it helps identify potential issues that could disrupt the workshop and allows the BA to prepare responses. The other options, while useful in their own contexts, do not specifically address the need to anticipate and mitigate the impact of stakeholder dissatisfaction during the workshop.
