A business analyst (BA) is running a workshop with a group of stakeholders to understand the requirements for a change that the company is planning to implement.
What important factor does the BA need to understand to ensure the workshop remains focused on the topic in question?
To ensure the workshop remains focused on the topic in question, the business analyst (BA) needs to understand the scope. The scope defines the boundaries and limits of the discussion, ensuring that all activities and conversations stay relevant to the specific objectives and goals of the workshop. Without a clear understanding of the scope, the workshop might deviate from its intended purpose, leading to inefficiencies and confusion among stakeholders.

Answer is A- pg 114- section 6.2.4.2-Scope of solution space
Answer A Throughout the workshop, the facilitator maintains focus by frequently validating the session's activities with the workshop's purpose and outcomes (BABOK 10.50.3.3) The purpose and the outcomes mentioned here are clearly the future state to reach.

Scope is the answer
A workshop is a focused event attended by key stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) for a concentrated period of time. A workshop may be held for different purposes including planning, analysis, design, scoping, requirements elicitation, modelling, or any combination of these.(BABOK v3 10.50.2) Future state likely have many elements to discuss and the workshop is a focused event which cannot cater all elements at the time.
Scope for sure. The scope provides a defined boundary within which the discussion and analysis should remain focused. While the future state may involve uncertainty and various possibilities, the scope defines the specific area that is relevant to the current discussion and analysis. Therefore, understanding and maintaining the scope are crucial for ensuring that the workshop stays focused on the intended topic.
