Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 223

A business analyst (BA) is logging the end user concerns and resolves these on a priority basis as mandated by the government. This project is a simple application, with no major strategic or financial impact to the organization. The BA strongly enforced end-to-end requirement traceability for this project. Why would the BA recommend this traceability approach?

Answer options

• A. Costs and benefits
• B. Complexity of the domain
• C. Regulatory requirements
• D. Organizational standards

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The BA recommends end-to-end requirement traceability to adhere to organizational standards, which often dictate best practices in project management. While costs, complexity, and regulatory requirements are important factors, they are not the primary reason in this context, as the project lacks major strategic implications.
