Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 3

A business analyst (BA) has a meeting next week with the project sponsor to ensure that the requirements align with the objective of the project. Prior to the meeting, the BA must ensure that the requirements are:

Answer options

• A. correct, capable, and strategic
• B. parametric, analogous, and decomposed
• C. atomic, feasible, and testable
• D. predictive, diagnostic and descriptive

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because requirements need to be atomic, meaning they should be indivisible, feasible to implement, and testable to ensure they can be verified. Options A and B focus on different aspects of requirements that do not align directly with the project's objectives, while D describes types of data analysis rather than requirements characteristics.
