Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 238

The business analyst (BA) has an item logged in the action items register requiring the verification of forthcoming legislation in the next 3 months that might have an impact on the proposed architecture. What should the BA do next?

Answer options

• A. Present the item to the project manager
• B. Transfer the item to the legal department
• C. Determine the performance measures
• D. Assess the impact immediately

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the BA needs to assess the impact of the upcoming legislation promptly to ensure the architecture aligns with legal requirements. Option A is incorrect as presenting to the project manager does not directly address the immediate need for impact assessment. Option B is not suitable since transferring the item may delay the necessary evaluation. Option C is irrelevant at this stage, as determining performance measures does not address the legislative implications.
