PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 111

A business analyst has elicited, documented, and verified the requirements, discovering that there are not enough resources to deliver all the requirements. Which technique should the business analyst employ to rectify the issue?

Answer options

• A. Hold a brainstorming workshop to build the rationale for the requirements.
• B. Perform traceability to find out where the requirements originated.
• C. Survey stakeholders on their likes and dislikes about the requirements.
• D. Ask stakeholders to vote on the requirements.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because performing traceability helps the business analyst understand the origins of the requirements, enabling prioritization based on necessity and resource availability. The other options do not directly address the issue of resource limitations and may lead to further complications without resolving the underlying problem.
