Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 492

A business analyst (BA) is supporting an organization in its product launch. The BA wants to identify assumptions about the benefits resulting from the new product. What does identifying assumptions help the BA manage?

Answer options

• A. Priorities
• B. Metrics
• C. Requirements
• D. Risks

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Identifying assumptions allows the BA to understand potential uncertainties that could impact the product's success, thereby helping to manage risks effectively. The other options, such as priorities and metrics, are important but are not directly linked to the uncertainties that assumptions highlight. Requirements can be influenced by assumptions but do not focus specifically on the management of uncertainties.
