Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 448

A business analyst (BA) is working on a project involving the purchase of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product. All internal risks have been identified and assessed. What is the BA's next course of action?

Answer options

• A. Review the business objectives
• B. Consult the business case
• C. Assess external risks
• D. Perform an environmental scan

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reviewing the business objectives is crucial to ensure that the project aligns with the overall goals of the organization. While consulting the business case, assessing external risks, and performing an environmental scan are important steps, they typically come after confirming that the project's objectives are still aligned with business strategy.
