CBAP Exam - Question 80


You are the business analyst for your organization and you are completing the verify requirements process. There are eight characteristics each requirement should have: cohesive, complete, consistent, correct, and feasible.

Which one of the following four is not a characteristic of a requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

The characteristics that a requirement should have typically include cohesive, complete, consistent, correct, feasible, unambiguous, and testable. These ensure the requirement is well-defined and can be relied upon in the verification process. While 'modifiable' implies flexibility, it is generally not listed among the primary characteristics that define a requirement according to standard guidelines such as BABOK. Therefore, 'Modifiable' is not considered a key characteristic of a requirement.

B. Modifiable While it's important for requirements to be flexible and adaptable, "modifiable" is not typically considered one of the characteristics of a requirement in the context of the verify requirements process. The characteristics of a requirement typically include being cohesive, complete, consistent, correct, feasible, functional, unambiguous, and testable. Therefore, option B is not a characteristic of a requirement.
