Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 367

Gary is the business analyst for his organization and he is preparing a presentation about the requirements for a large software development project.
Before Gary makes the presentation what should he do as part of his preparation for the presentation?

Answer options

• A. Determine an appropriate format for the presentation.
• B. Confirm that he has the authority to host the presentation.
• C. Confirm that the stakeholders have signed off on the requirements.
• D. Hire a scribe to keep the minutes of the meeting.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because determining the appropriate format for the presentation is crucial to effectively communicate the requirements. While confirming authority (B) and stakeholder approval (C) are important, they are not part of the immediate preparation for the presentation itself. Hiring a scribe (D) may be helpful but is not essential for preparing the content of the presentation.
