Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 279

During the requirements verification process, stakeholders are finding many errors in the requirements definition. What could the business analyst have done to avoid these errors?

Answer options

• A. Asked the stakeholders to write the requirements themselves
• B. Updated the requirements traceability matrix
• C. Included the project manager in the elicitation sessions
• D. Confirmed the elicitation results after sessions

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because confirming the elicitation results ensures that the requirements accurately reflect stakeholders' needs and can help identify discrepancies early. The other options may not directly address the verification of requirements or could lead to miscommunication, such as having stakeholders write their own requirements without guidance.
