Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 215
A project manager (PM) is planning the project timelines along with a business analyst (BA) and they come across the task of requirement allocation. The PM wants to know what the dependencies are before the requirement allocation task is initiated and seeks the BA's advice. Which of the following is a dependency that the BA will highlight as a predecessor for requirement allocation?
Answer options
- A. Requirements are validated
- B. Requirements architecture is approved
- C. Design options are available
- D. Solution approach has been determined
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because determining the solution approach provides a foundational understanding necessary for effective requirement allocation. The other options, while important in their own right, do not serve as prerequisites for the allocation of requirements, which directly relies on a clear solution direction.
