PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 9

During user acceptance testing, a defect is logged by a user from a department that did not participate in the requirements analysis. To avoid this situation and minimize impact on the project, the user should have been:

Answer options

• A. interviewed to understand how the user’s work would be impacted.
• B. involved in the development and sign-off of the business requirements.
• C. given the opportunity to review the user acceptance test scripts.
• D. identified as a stakeholder as part of the stakeholder analysis.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because identifying all relevant stakeholders during the stakeholder analysis ensures that their needs and concerns are addressed early in the project. Options A, B, and C do not guarantee that the user would have been included in the requirements gathering process, which is critical for preventing defects during user acceptance testing.
