Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 31

You are the business analyst for your organization. Management has asked you to define and document the requirements of an endeavor so that the requirements may be reused again in the organization. Why would an organization want to re-use requirements?

Answer options

• A. Re-using requirements is useful if the organization wants to sell the set of requirements to its customers.
• B. Re-using requirements is useful if the current solution fails.
• C. Re-using requirements is useful when the requirements are something the organization must do on an ongoing basis.
• D. Re-using requirements doesn't mean re-using the requirements over and over, but tracing the requirements to actual deliverables.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reusing requirements is particularly valuable for ongoing processes that the organization must repeatedly execute. Options A and B do not reflect the primary motive for reusing requirements, which is about efficiency and consistency in ongoing operations. Option D misinterprets the concept of reuse, focusing instead on traceability rather than the actual reuse of requirements.
