PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 2

A business analyst is assigned to the lead analyst role for a project. This project is one of the largest in the history of the company and includes several components and complex interfaces. The system in development will be used by a wide variety of stakeholders.
Which tool should the business analyst use to trace the large number of requirements that will be generated by this project?

Answer options

• A. Sequence diagram
• B. Configuration management system
• C. Process mode
• D. Data dictionary

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Configuration management system is essential for tracking and managing requirements in complex projects. Other options, like Sequence diagrams and Process modes, are more suited for modeling processes or interactions rather than managing requirements. A Data dictionary provides definitions of data elements but does not offer comprehensive tracing capabilities for requirements.
