Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 494

A business analyst (BA) is validating requirements and has found that the design cannot be validated to support the requirements. Which of the following is creating this situation?

Answer options

• A. Incorrect assumptions.
• B. Lack of requirements traceability.
• C. Missing requirements.
• D. Substandard solution design.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as missing requirements can lead to a design that fails to meet the necessary specifications. Options A and D involve assumptions and quality of the design but do not directly address the absence of requirements. Option B refers to traceability, which is important but not the root cause of the design failing to support the requirements.
