Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 42

A business analyst (BA) is running a workshop with a group of stakeholders to understand the requirements for a change that the company is planning to implement.
What important factor does the BA need to understand to ensure the workshop remains focused on the topic in question?

Answer options

• A. Future state
• B. Assets
• C. Scope
• D. Risk register

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Understanding the scope is essential for the BA to keep the discussions within the defined boundaries of the project. If the scope is not clear, the workshop may veer off-topic, causing confusion and inefficiency. The other options, while important, do not directly help in maintaining focus on the specific requirements being gathered.
