Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 172

A business analyst (BA) is defining constraints for a project. Which of the following is a valid constraint?

Answer options

• A. “The solution must be implemented in six (6) months.”
• B. “The solution must increase sales by 20%.”
• C. “The solution must promote workplace safety.”
• D. “The solution must reduce support calls by 20%.”

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it specifies a measurable target that the solution must achieve, making it a valid constraint. In contrast, options A, C, and D describe goals or outcomes rather than constraints on the project's implementation or requirements.
