Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 304

You are the business analyst for your organization. Management realizes that a proposed solution has risks that may cause the entire project to fail. They would like you to prioritize the requirements with maximum risks first so that if the project fails, there is little loss of capital in the project implementation.
What requirements prioritization approach is management asking you to create in this instance?

Answer options

• A. Implementation difficulty
• B. Business or technical risk
• C. Likelihood of success
• D. Relationship to other requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as prioritizing by business or technical risk focuses on identifying and addressing the most critical risks that could lead to project failure. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the concern of minimizing capital loss due to risks; instead, they focus on implementation challenges, success probabilities, or interdependencies among requirements, which are not the primary concern in this context.
