CBAP Exam - Question 153


You are the business analyst for your organization and preparing to complete the requirements elicitation activities. Your manager wants to know when the requirements elicitation process will be completed.

Which of the following responses best describes the nature of the requirements elicitation process?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Eliciting requirements is not a compartmentalized activity. It is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the duration of the project as business analysis work continues. This means it cannot be confined to a specific schedule, project size, or stakeholder willingness. Requirements may evolve and change as more information becomes available or as project conditions change, making the requirements elicitation process continuous rather than limited to a set timeframe.

4.0 Elicitation and collaboration work is never a 'phase' in business analysis; rather, it is ongoing as long as business analysis work is occurring. Eliciting business analysis information is not an isolated activity.

The answer looks more like C. The side of the project, determines the duration of the requirement elicitation since the PM wants to know how long it will take for the process to be completed

No option B cannot be the right one. As keeping stakeholders interest at business analysis activities is one of the primary roles of a Business Analyst. For me option D is correct.

Elicitation activity is not phased. Rather it can occur at any point during the project

Correct answer is D. As per BABOK v3 pg 53, Elicitation and collaboration work is never a 'phase' in business analysis; rather, it is ongoing as long as business analysis work is occurring. Elicitation and collaboration can be planned, unplanned, or both.
