Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 423

You are the business analyst for your organization. Management wants you to prioritize the identified requirements by the requirements that have the highest likelihood of success.
Why would management want you to prioritize the requirements with this factor even though some of the requirements may be difficult to implement?

Answer options

• A. They want a fast return on investment.
• B. They want to show early success in the implementation to the project stakeholders.
• C. They don't understand the requirements.
• D. They want to avoid penalties or fines due to a pending law.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Management prioritizes requirements with a high likelihood of success to demonstrate early achievements to project stakeholders, which can build trust and support for the project. While a fast return on investment (A) and avoiding penalties (D) are important, they do not specifically relate to the focus on early success. Additionally, the assertion that they don't understand the requirements (C) is incorrect as it undermines their strategic approach.
