Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 245

A business analyst (BA) wants to check the completeness of requirements defined after meeting with project stakeholders. A group of subject matter experts (SMEs) has been identified and invited to a workshop to walk through the requirements. What must the BA do to ensure a shared understanding of requirements?

Answer options

• A. Align requirements to the organizational strategy
• B. Prioritize requirements according to expected stakeholder value
• C. Determine the format to present the requirements to the SMEs attending the workshop
• D. Ensure requirements attributes are consistent for ease of access

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because aligning requirements with the organizational strategy ensures all stakeholders have a unified vision and understanding of their importance. Options B, C, and D, while relevant to managing requirements, do not directly contribute to establishing a shared understanding among the stakeholders and SMEs regarding the requirements themselves.
