Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 180

What element of the conduct elicitation activity is tracked to provide a basis for future planning?

Answer options

• A. Time actually spent eliciting the requirements
• B. Number of stakeholders that did not participate in the requirements elicitation
• C. Cost of actually eliciting the requirements
• D. Changes that entered the scope throughout the requirements elicitation activities

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because tracking the actual time spent on eliciting requirements helps in assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the process for future planning. Options B, C, and D, while potentially useful metrics, do not directly provide a basis for future planning as effectively as the time spent does.
