PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 94

A business analyst is preparing a requirements management plan and needs to define a method to deal with a complex project with stakeholders who find it difficult to articulate their needs. Which method would best minimize requirements risk?

Answer options

• A. Prototyping
• B. Stakeholder analysis
• C. Group decision making
• D. Questionnaires

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Questionnaires allow stakeholders to express their needs in a structured manner, which can help uncover requirements that may not be articulated in discussions. Other methods like prototyping and group decision making may not be as effective in situations where stakeholders have difficulty communicating their needs. Stakeholder analysis is useful but does not directly address the challenge of gathering clear requirements.
