Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 71

You are a business analyst for your organization. Your current business analysis endeavor includes working with stakeholders located in offices around the world.
Because these stakeholders are dispersed, what is likely to increase in this endeavor as opposed to a collocated group of stakeholders?

Answer options

• A. Costs
• B. Face-to-face meetings
• C. Communication needs
• D. Risks

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as working with stakeholders from different locations inherently increases the need for effective communication methods. Unlike a collocated group where face-to-face interaction is easier, dispersed teams rely more on various communication tools, leading to higher communication needs. Options A, B, and D do not directly correlate with the challenges faced by geographically separated teams in the same manner.
