Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 151

A business analyst (BA) working with a large insurance corporation interviewed an industry thought leader who predicted that many of the regulations currently imposed by the government will change very soon. The BA carefully documented all these inputs from the thought leader because it will impact many of the strategic initiatives of the insurance company. What specific element of requirement validation is being executed by the BA?

Answer options

• A. Identify constraints
• B. Define measurable evaluation criteria
• C. Identify assumptions
• D. Evaluate alignment with solution scope

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the BA is identifying assumptions about future regulatory changes that could impact strategic initiatives. Options A, B, and D do not accurately reflect this process; they focus on constraints, evaluation criteria, and alignment with the scope, which are not the main focus in this scenario.
