Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 440

A business analyst (BA) is working on a project to provide a temporary solution that will last for two months. The BA is feeling overwhelmed with the work needed to create the huge number of links to provide full traceability from solution requirements to design for this solution. How can the BA justify omitting all possible links?

Answer options

• A. Such traceability is at a lower level of abstraction for this project
• B. The value each link is delivering in this situation is not high
• C. Traceability is a low priority as the BA has other work to complete
• D. It is impossible for anyone to confirm if such links are correct

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the project is temporary and may not require detailed traceability, which is usually needed for more complex or long-term projects. Option B is incorrect as it undervalues the importance of traceability; option C suggests a lack of prioritization but doesn't justify omitting links, and option D incorrectly assumes that verification is impossible, which is not the case.
