Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 2

You are the business analyst for a solution that has 435 stakeholders.
How many communication channels exist in this project?

Answer options

• A. 188,790
• B. 189,225
• C. 94,395
• D. 435

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The number of communication channels in a project can be calculated using the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of stakeholders. In this case, with 435 stakeholders, the calculation yields 94,395 channels. The other options do not correctly reflect this formula and hence are incorrect.
