Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 149

A business analyst (BA) is defining a stakeholder approval approach for the requirement deliverables. The project involves implementing new government regulatory requirements with significant risk to the organization in case of non-compliance. According to the BABOK ® GUIDE, what will the BA need to do?

Answer options

• A. Ensure high level user stories are completed and accepted
• B. Use an informal approval process to speed up delivery
• C. Use a rigorous approval process of detailed specifications
• D. Ensure the document is completed and signed off

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because ensuring that the document is completed and signed off is essential for formalizing stakeholder approval, especially in high-risk scenarios. Option A is incorrect as high-level user stories alone do not suffice for regulatory compliance. Option B is inappropriate since an informal process is not suitable given the significant risks involved. Option C, while rigorous, does not emphasize the importance of sign-off in this context.
