Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 304

You are the business analyst for a large project in your organization. While your company prefers face-to-face communications there are many stakeholders located in different geographical locations. How can you still effectively serve as a business analyst when the stakeholders are not collocated?

Answer options

• A. You will need the stakeholders to periodically gather in one locale.
• B. You will need to travel on a regular rotation to each of the geographical locations to complete the business analyst duties.
• C. Add more business analysts in each of the geographical location.
• D. You will need to implement videoconferences.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because implementing videoconferences allows for real-time communication and collaboration, bridging the gap caused by geographical distances. Options A and B are impractical as they require stakeholders to gather physically, which is not feasible for widely dispersed teams. Option C may increase resources but does not solve the communication challenge directly.
