Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 439

The business analyst (BA) is assigned a small project, requiring minor enhancements to an existing system. The BA will meet with the business sponsor and developer next week to gather information about the change. What should the BA review before the meeting?

Answer options

• A. Minutes from the last steering committee meeting
• B. Organizational structure of the impacted department
• C. Functional design specification of the existing system
• D. Current list of funded initiatives for the current year

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reviewing the Functional design specification of the existing system will provide the BA with essential context about the current functionalities and how the proposed enhancements fit in. Options A, B, and D, while potentially useful, do not directly relate to the specific enhancements being discussed and may not provide the immediate information needed for the meeting.
