An organization has selected a solution for a business need and the business analyst has elected to use the time boxing/budgeting technique for requirements prioritization. What is the time boxing/budgeting technique?

Answer options

• A. It's a method to prioritize requirements based on a pre-determined budget and/or a pre-determined deadline.
• B. It's used when there are conflicting requirements that must be resolved quickly and cost efficiently.
• C. It's a method to rank requirements in different boxes based on time, cost, risk, and need.
• D. It's used to determine which requirements can be implemented fastest and for the least amount of cost.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the time boxing/budgeting technique focuses on prioritizing requirements within the constraints of a set budget and timeline. Option B describes a scenario but does not specifically address the technique itself, while C refers to a different ranking method that involves multiple factors. Option D emphasizes speed and cost but misses the essence of predetermined limits inherent in time boxing/budgeting.
