Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 115

A business analyst (BA) worked with two stakeholders to finalize the access rights related requirements for an internal software application. According to the first stakeholder “Comments, once entered in the application, should be stored for 365 days and should not allow the users to delete”. According to the second stakeholder, “The users with super administrator privileges should be able to add/delete/modify every page/section in the entire application.” Which characteristic does this pair of requirements fail to meet?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The requirements are inconsistent because they present conflicting rules regarding user permissions. The first requirement restricts deletion of comments, while the second allows super administrators to modify all sections, which could include deleting comments. This inconsistency can lead to confusion and implementation issues.
