Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 503

A business analyst has just hosted a brainstorming session that has generated 57 ideas for a solution. What should the business analyst do with the ideas now?

Answer options

• A. Discuss each idea with the project manager.
• B. Research each idea for time and cost.
• C. Record the ideas as requirements.
• D. Rate the ideas.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as rating the ideas helps prioritize them based on their feasibility and impact. Discussing with the project manager, researching for time and cost, or recording them as requirements are subsequent steps that can follow the initial evaluation but do not address immediate prioritization.
