Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 438

You are the business analyst for your organization. As part of the requirements prioritization you have given each key stakeholder $10,000 in play money to distribute among the identified requirements. Each stakeholder can assign their play money to any of the requirements, but the requirements will be prioritized based on the value of the play money assigned to each requirement.
What type of requirements prioritization is happening in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Resource leveling
• B. Confirmation management
• C. Utility function
• D. Voting

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The scenario describes a situation where stakeholders use play money to express their preferences for requirements, which is a clear example of voting. The other options do not involve stakeholder input in the form of financial allocation, making them incorrect in this context.
