Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 487

A certain stakeholder requirement has been analyzed and broken down into several solution requirements, each affecting a different IT system. After solution design, the business analyst (BA) receives feedback that one of the IT systems will take longer than anticipated to implement. What requirements artifact or technique will assist the BA in better understanding the related requirements?

Answer options

• A. MoSCoW prioritization
• B. Backlog management
• C. Requirements documentation
• D. Traceability matrix

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Traceability matrix helps the BA track the relationship between stakeholder requirements and solution requirements, making it easier to identify how changes in one area may impact others. MoSCoW prioritization, backlog management, and requirements documentation do not provide the same level of insight into interdependencies among requirements as the Traceability matrix does.
