Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 209

Manufacturer O has received a merger proposal from Manufacturer K. There is concern among the senior management of Manufacturer O that regulations could shift in the future, prompting Manufacturer K to move headquarters elsewhere and close operations at the current Manufacturer O site. In assessing the proposal limitations and as part of identifying enterprise limitations, a culture assessment is completed. As part of this work, what else would the BA perform?

Answer options

• A. Organization and functional modelling
• B. Scope and requirements prioritization
• C. Financial and risk analysis
• D. Stakeholder impact and operational analysis

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is essential because it focuses on understanding how the merger will affect various stakeholders and the overall operations of Manufacturer O. Options A, B, and C, while important in their contexts, do not directly address the immediate concerns regarding stakeholder impacts and operational changes that could arise from the merger.
