Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 302

Mark is the business analyst for his organization. He is working with the solution development team and he believes that the team does not want to implement a certain portion of the requirements. The team is expressing the difficulty of the requirements and how it will be extremely challenging to complete. When Mark asks about a similar project that the team completed, they insist that this is a different type of requirements though Mark believes that it is not.
What is the solution development team appearing to do to the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Change the prioritization of the requirements based on the past project.
• B. Change the prioritization of the requirements based on overstated complexity of the project work.
• C. Get the requirements removed from the project scope.
• D. Have the business analyst report the difficulty of the project work to the project customer.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the solution development team seems to be downplaying the importance of the requirements by overstating the complexity involved in the project work. The other options do not accurately reflect the team's actions; A suggests a comparison to past projects, C implies they want to remove requirements entirely, and D involves reporting issues to the client, which is not the main focus here.
