CBAP Exam - Question 168


Holly is the business analyst for her organization. Holly encourages teamwork and open communications among the business analysis team and the stakeholders.

She wants stakeholders to drop by her office and freely discuss the requirements, the solution scope, and other concerns about the solution she's working on.

Holly definitely prefers informal communications.

What is the danger Holly may experience with informal communications?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

While informal communications can foster collaboration and open dialogue, there is a risk that important information may not be properly documented or communicated to all stakeholders. Without a structured approach to communication, there is a higher chance of misunderstandings, incomplete requirements, and ambiguity, leading to potential issues in the solution development process. Therefore, it's essential for Holly to ensure that even informal discussions are properly documented, and key information is effectively communicated to all relevant parties.
