PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 83

A business analyst has started a project for a system enhancement. In order to determine how the requirements will be approved, the business analyst schedules a meeting with the stakeholders to discuss the proposed approval process.
Which measure of effective decision making allows the business analyst to finalize the process for requirement approval?

Answer options

• A. The requirements validation process is documented.
• B. The requirements elicitation process is documented.
• C. The requirements verification process is documented.
• D. The requirements approval process is documented.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because documenting the requirements validation process ensures that all requirements are assessed and agreed upon, which is crucial for approval. The other options refer to different stages of requirement handling: elicitation focuses on gathering information, verification deals with confirming the correctness of the requirements, and approval specifically pertains to the final agreement on those requirements.
