Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 57

Kelly is the business analyst for her organization and she's identifying roles and responsibilities of the people involved in business analysis activities. Her manager has asked Kelly to create the RACI matrix to accomplish this task. What is the RACI matrix?

Answer options

• A. The RACI matrix is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses the legend of Responsible, Action, Controlled, and Informed.
• B. The RACI matrix is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses the legend of Role, Action, Controlled, and Information.
• C. The RACI matrix is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses the legend of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.
• D. The RACI matrix is a roles and responsibilities chart that uses the legend of Risk, Action, Cost, and Information.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the RACI matrix specifically defines roles as Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. Options A and B incorrectly use 'Action' and 'Controlled' instead of 'Accountable' and 'Consulted'. Option D misstates the components entirely, using 'Risk' and 'Cost' which are not relevant to the RACI framework.
