A business analyst (BA) was developing an outline of the timing of business analysis activities with the project manager. What factors may impact the timing of the activities the BA is performing?

Contract terms can significantly impact the timing of business analysis activities because they often contain specific deadlines and deliverables that must be met. These terms can set constraints and schedules that the business analyst needs to adhere to, affecting how and when various activities are performed. Elements like the solution design or the project sponsor’s interest may influence the project overall, but they do not directly dictate the timing of business analysis activities in the way contract terms do.
"• constraints such as contract terms or regulatory deadlines." BABOK - C - Contract terms
C, I think.
C is Correct. Reference is on page 28
C=contract terms - pg 28 - The timing of business analysis activities can also be affected by: • the availability of resources, • priority and/or urgency of the initiative, • other concurrent initiatives, or • constraints such as contract terms or regulatory deadlines.
Ans - C 3.1.4.4
As per BABOK v3 3.1.4.4, the timing of business analysis activities may be affected by • the availability of resources, • priority and/or urgency of the initiative, • other concurrent initiatives, or • constraints such as contract terms or regulatory deadlines. Hence, Contract terms mentioned here seems the appropriate answer. Logically, project sponsor interest or solution design does not directly impact the timelines of BA activities.
"Solution design" (option A) is the factor that directly impacts the timing of the activities the business analyst (BA) is performing. The solution design phase typically follows the business analysis phase, and the timing of BA activities may depend on when the solution design is finalized. Here's a brief explanation of why the other options are not directly related to the timing of BA activities: - Project manager's experience (option B): While the project manager's experience may influence overall project planning and management, it doesn't directly impact the timing of specific BA activities within the project timeline.
- Contract terms (option C): Contract terms may define the scope of work, deliverables, and responsibilities, but they don't necessarily dictate the timing of BA activities unless specified in the contract. - Project sponsor interest (option D): The project sponsor's interest may influence project priorities and support, but it doesn't typically determine the timing of BA activities within the project schedule.
C is the answer pls
