Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 250

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a large financial services firm with many technology applications was formally reviewing all ongoing projects and noticed that the requirements were complex and difficult to follow. The CIO asks the business analyst (BA) what would improve the stakeholder's ability to understand the requirements. Which of the following will improve the requirements quality?

Answer options

• A. Matrix documentation formats
• B. Traceability matrices
• C. Additional requirements attributes
• D. IEEE/ISO 29148 requirements standards

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The IEEE/ISO 29148 requirements standards provide a comprehensive framework for documenting requirements, which can lead to better understanding and clarity for stakeholders. The other options, while useful, do not offer the same level of structured guidance that these standards provide, making them less effective in improving requirements quality.
