Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 135

One of the tasks that the business analyst (BA) needs to complete is to maintain the requirements. As much as the BA values and sees the benefits of maintaining the requirements, the project manager (PM) does not see the same. In order to help the PM understand the value of this task, which following benefit of maintaining the requirements should the BA communicate to the PM?

Answer options

• A. They identify the financial projections of the project.
• B. They define the project schedule and future tasks.
• C. They describe how to setup the traceability tools.
• D. They can easily be traced and reused for future.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as maintaining requirements allows for traceability and reuse in future projects, which is essential for efficiency and consistency. Options A and B focus on financial and scheduling aspects, which are not direct benefits of maintaining requirements. Option C addresses traceability tools but does not highlight the direct advantages of maintaining the requirements themselves.
