PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 86

A business analyst has been assigned to ProjectY. After a requirements gathering session, the project manager asks the business analyst to identify which requirements would be considered in scope and out of scope, based on the business need.
What document should the business analyst use to determine the relationship of the requirement to the business need?

Answer options

• A. Traceability matrix
• B. Requirements package
• C. Reliability matrix
• D. Requirements management plan

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the Traceability matrix, as it helps track the relationship between requirements and business needs, ensuring alignment. The other options, like the Requirements package and Requirements management plan, may contain details about requirements but do not specifically address the relationships. The Reliability matrix is not relevant to requirement classification.
