Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 199

While reviewing a subset of requirements with stakeholders, a business analyst (BA) finds a requirement that does not deliver benefit to any of the stakeholders.
After much discussion, the stakeholders decide that the requirement does not align with the solution scope.
What recommendation will the BA make?

Answer options

• A. Update the solution design
• B. Re-evaluate the future state
• C. Change the solution scope
• D. Eliminate the requirement

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as eliminating the requirement is the most appropriate action when it does not benefit any stakeholders and does not fit within the solution scope. Options A, B, and C involve changes that do not address the core issue of the requirement being unnecessary and misaligned with stakeholder needs.
