Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 154

Before beginning requirements elicitation, a business analyst (BA) has planned the necessary activities, identified needed stakeholders, and documented this in the Business Analysis Plan. Which approach will help the BA ensure that stakeholders are available when required?

Answer options

• A. Talk to the stakeholders' managers to ensure the resources will be available
• B. Send meeting invitations well in advance so stakeholders can plan in time
• C. Conduct a review of the plan with the stakeholders and adjust according to the feedback received
• D. Request an introduction letter from the business sponsor highlighting the importance of the initiative

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Sending meeting invitations well in advance allows stakeholders to manage their schedules effectively and ensures their availability for important discussions. While talking to managers, conducting reviews, and requesting introduction letters may provide support, they do not directly ensure stakeholder attendance as effectively as early invitations do.
