Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 132

A business analyst (BA) has been tasked with examining and analyzing the relationship between a set of requirements by verifying that they are unambiguous. What will the BA be looking for?

Answer options

• A. That there are no relationships that link elements in two different and conflicting ways.
• B. That the relationship is necessary for understanding the requirements holistically.
• C. That there is a genuine relationship and that the type of the relationship is described.
• D. That relationships are described in the same way, using the same set of standard descriptions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the BA needs to ensure that no conflicting relationships exist between requirements, which would lead to ambiguity. Options B, C, and D, while relevant to understanding relationships, do not directly address the need for clarity and the absence of conflicting interpretations.
