Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 180

While gathering information during a requirements workshop, a subject matter expert states that it is likely that an organizational restructure will occur in one of the business departments that will be utilizing parts of the new system. As such, the business analyst (BA) should:

Answer options

• A. ask the project sponsor to confirm whether and when the restructure will occur.
• B. record a risk that requirements may change and further explore the likelihood and impact of the risk.
• C. note the constraint that the solution must be flexible to accommodate different roles after implementation.
• D. proceed as if the business unit will not be restructured and wait for the organization to confirm otherwise.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the BA needs to ensure that the solution can adapt to potential changes in roles due to the organizational restructure. Option A does not address the need for flexibility, while option B focuses on recording a risk without planning for adaptability. Option D is not prudent, as it ignores potential changes that could impact the system's effectiveness.
