PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 99

The project team is early in the development phase of a new product. The project will need to be completed on a tight timeline and with a lean budget.
What should the team do to reduce the risk of rework?

Answer options

• A. Organize a new elicitation workshop.
• B. Perform a Pareto analysis on the requirements.
• C. Validate the requirements before continuing with development.
• D. Ask the project sponsor to prioritize the requirements.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Validating the requirements before proceeding with development ensures that the team has a clear understanding of what needs to be built, thus minimizing the risk of rework later. The other options, such as organizing workshops or prioritizing requirements, do not directly confirm the requirements and may lead to misunderstandings or incomplete information.
