Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 210

A business analyst (BA) is working on a project that has a release date that cannot be changed. The BA engaged with stakeholders and completed the business requirements elicitation task. Upon review with the rest of the project team, it is determined that not all requirements can be implemented by the set deadline. What must the BA do to ensure maximum business value?

Answer options

• A. Ensure test scenarios conform to business requirements
• B. Align business requirements to organizational strategy
• C. Choose an appropriate format to communicate requirements
• D. Analyze requirements to remove unnecessary components

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the BA should prioritize and refine the requirements to focus on essential components that can be delivered within the deadline, maximizing business value. Options A, B, and C do not address the urgency of meeting the deadline and would not help in prioritizing requirements effectively.
