Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 375

A business analyst (BA) wants to estimate the potential value delivered by a set of requirements and design options by targeting a small group of stakeholders to understand their perceived value and expectations. The BA is going to organize a discussion during which feedback is collected.
Which technique will be used?

Answer options

• A. Focus Group
• B. Brainstorming
• C. Survey
• D. Group interview

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Focus Group, as it involves gathering a select group of stakeholders to discuss and provide feedback on their perceptions and expectations. While Brainstorming (B), Survey (C), and Group interview (D) are also methods for collecting information, they do not specifically target a small group in a discussion format aimed at understanding value in the same way a focus group does.
