Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 215

A business analyst (BA) finds that the proposed solution has features used by a small group of stakeholders for business scenarios which may occur up to three times a year but require a high effort to implement. What should the BA recommend in this case?

Answer options

• A. Assign it a lower priority for future release
• B. Deliver as part of the initial release
• C. Change the related business process
• D. Remove the requirement

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because assigning a lower priority allows the team to focus on more critical features that provide greater value. Options B and C involve either delivering the feature immediately or altering business processes, which may not be justified given the infrequent usage. Option D suggests eliminating the requirement entirely, which may overlook potential future needs.
