PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 23

The software developers have delivered a completed solution. The quality assurance team has passed the solution. What should the business analyst do next?

Answer options

• A. Evaluate the solution against the project charter.
• B. Conduct performance testing.
• C. Evaluate the solution with the sponsor(s)
• D. Conduct user acceptance testing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as user acceptance testing (UAT) is crucial to ensure that the solution meets the needs of the end users before it goes live. Options A, B, and C are important but occur at different stages in the project lifecycle; evaluating against the project charter or with sponsors does not directly assess user needs, while performance testing focuses on system efficiency rather than user satisfaction.
