PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 145

During the project execution phase, the client requests the addition of a new feature. Which of the following would allow the business analyst to determine the impact for the specific requirement change?

Answer options

• A. Requirements management tool
• B. Requirements traceability matrix
• C. Requirements cards
• D. Requirements baseline

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Requirements management tool is essential for assessing the impact of requirement changes as it helps in tracking and managing changes over time. The Requirements traceability matrix is useful for understanding relationships between requirements but does not directly assess impact. Requirements cards are not typically used for impact analysis, and a Requirements baseline refers to the original approved requirements, which does not help in assessing new changes.
