Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 211

A business analyst (BA) spent three months eliciting, specifying, and modelling the detailed stakeholder and solution requirements. Right before requirement sign-off, the BA realized that the Vice President was unable to approve the requirements and the Chief Financial Officer should do so. What element of requirement approval did the BA miss?

Answer options

• A. Understand stakeholder roles
• B. Track and communicate approval
• C. Manage conflicts and issues
• D. Gain consensus

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the BA failed to properly track and communicate who had the authority to approve the requirements. Option A is incorrect as understanding roles is important but not the core issue here; C and D are also not relevant to the specific oversight of approval authority.
