Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 122

You are the business analyst for your organization. You are currently identifying opportunities for a customer to improve their business processes. The customer wants to streamline their business efforts either through new technologies, better processes, or a combination of both. The customer demands, however, that the solution should not cost more than $300,000 to implement and support for one year. What does the $300,000 represent?

Answer options

• A. Budget
• B. Constraint
• C. Solution cost
• D. Requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The $300,000 represents a constraint because it sets a limit on the financial resources available for the project. While it is also related to the budget and solution cost, the primary function of this figure is to restrict choices to ensure the project remains financially viable. Requirements are broader and do not specifically denote a financial limit.
