Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 422

Mark is the business analyst for his organization. He is working with the solution development team and he believes that the team does not want to implement a certain portion of the requirements. The team is expressing the difficulty of the requirements and how it will be extremely challenging to complete. When Mark asks about a similar project that the team completed, they insist that this is a different type of requirements though Mark believes that it is not. What is the solution development team appearing to do to the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Get the requirements removed from the project scope.
• B. Change the prioritization of the requirements based on overstated complexity of the project work.
• C. Change the prioritization of the requirements based on the past project.
• D. Have the business analyst report the difficulty of the project work to the project customer.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the solution development team appears to be downplaying the requirements' importance by overstating their complexity, which leads to a shift in prioritization. Option A is incorrect as they are not trying to remove the requirements completely. Option C is also wrong because they are not prioritizing based on past projects but rather on their perceived complexity. Option D is incorrect since there is no indication that the business analyst is reporting difficulties to the customer.
