Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 347

Mark is a business analyst for his organization. A business need has been identified; therefore, Mark immediately sets out to identify the stakeholders. How long will stakeholder analysis need to continue?

Answer options

• A. It will continue until all of the stakeholders have been identified.
• B. It will continue until the requirements have been approved.
• C. It will continue as long as business analysis continues.
• D. It will continue until the project charter is signed.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because stakeholder analysis must be completed in conjunction with the approval of the requirements to ensure all necessary input is accounted for. Option A is incorrect as stakeholder identification may be revisited throughout the project. Option C is too broad, as analysis does not need to continue indefinitely. Option D is also incorrect since the project charter signing is a separate phase that does not directly correlate with stakeholder analysis.
