Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 279

You are the business analyst for your organization and you're working with your manager to discuss the constraints and assumptions that may affect the requirements. Your manager wants to know from where you've derived the list of constraints and assumptions. What's the best answer as to where assumptions and constraints are identified?

Answer options

• A. Assumptions and constraints are identified through a review of project requirements.
• B. Assumptions and constraints are identified through elicitation from stakeholders.
• C. Assumptions and constraints are identified through risk identification and analysis.
• D. Assumptions and constraints are identified through document analysis.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because assumptions and constraints are primarily gathered through direct engagement with stakeholders, who provide insights based on their perspectives and experiences. Options A, C, and D, while relevant to project management, do not directly address the primary method for identifying these specific elements, which is stakeholder elicitation.
