Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 189

After an initial project kick-off meeting, the business analyst (BA) determined that the project has a short deadline and a regulatory mandate with stiff penalties for non-compliance. The stakeholders do not want to risk missing the deadline, and management is willing to commit any amount of resources to meet the deadline. Which kind of approach is suitable for the initiative?

Answer options

• A. Kanban development process
• B. Crystal clear development process
• C. Adaptive development process
• D. Predictive development process

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Predictive development process is ideal in this scenario because it emphasizes detailed planning and a structured approach to ensure that all regulatory requirements are met within the specified timeframe. Other options, such as Kanban or Adaptive, are more flexible and may not provide the rigid structure needed to handle strict deadlines and compliance issues.
