Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 191

A business analyst (BA) has completed multiple workshops involving a number of stakeholders including the project manager; however, the elicitation results are inconsistent between the stakeholders. How should the variation in results be resolved?

Answer options

• A. The BA should select which requirements are correct.
• B. The BA should model the elicited requirements in a review meeting.
• C. The project manager should decide which requirement is relevant.
• D. The project manager should model the elicited requirements in a review meeting.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the business analyst must take responsibility for determining the correct requirements based on the stakeholders' input. Options B and D focus on modeling or presenting requirements, which does not directly resolve the inconsistency. Option C incorrectly places the decision-making authority solely with the project manager, rather than allowing the BA to assess the requirements.
