Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 342

One of the processes within requirements analysis is to prioritize requirements.
As a business analyst why would you ever want to prioritize requirements?

Answer options

• A. You may need to determine the cost of each requirement.
• B. You may need to determine the schedule for each requirement.
• C. You may need to determine which requirements are most critical so the analysis and implementation efforts focus on the most critical requirements.
• D. You may need to determine which requirements are most critical so additional risk analysis can be completed on those requirements.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because prioritizing helps direct focus on the most critical requirements, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively. Options A and B address cost and schedule but do not emphasize the importance of criticality, while option D, although relevant, does not capture the primary goal of focusing analysis and implementation efforts.
