benefit analysis provides a clear rationale for the selection of requirements and ensures that the
project remains viable, achieving the highest possible value for the investment made.
32 C To ensure the project schedule is realistic and achievable, conducting a thorough task analysis is
critical. This involves breaking down the project into smaller tasks, estimating the effort required
for each task, and considering resource availability and dependencies among tasks. By taking
these factors into account, you can create a schedule that accounts for project complexity,
resource constraints, and potential risks. A realistic schedule provides a clear roadmap for project
execution and increases the likelihood of successful project delivery.
33 C To overcome challenges in eliciting requirements from geographically dispersed stakeholders,
using collaboration tools with features for asynchronous discussions and document sharing is an
effective approach. Asynchronous communication allows stakeholders to participate at their
convenience, considering different time zones. Collaboration tools provide a centralized platform
for stakeholders to discuss requirements, provide feedback, and share documents. This ensures
that stakeholders from different locations can actively participate in requirements gathering,
leading to more comprehensive and inclusive results.
34 C To ensure stakeholders provide honest and candid feedback during interviews, establishing
rapport and building trust are essential. Building trust involves active listening, respecting
stakeholders' perspectives, and demonstrating empathy towards their needs and concerns. By
creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, stakeholders are more likely to share their
genuine feedback and opinions openly. This transparent communication fosters a stronger
working relationship and ensures that requirements are elicited accurately based on stakeholders'
true needs.
35 C Prioritizing and resolving conflicting regulatory requirements requires a comprehensive analysis to
assess the impact of each regulation on the project. The business analyst should collaborate with
legal experts to gain a deeper understanding of the legal implications and constraints of each
requirement. This analysis helps in identifying potential overlaps, contradictions, or areas of
alignment between different regulations. Engaging legal experts ensures that the project stays
compliant with all relevant regulations, and stakeholders' concerns are adequately addressed.
36 C A thorough market analysis involves gathering valuable insights from potential customers to
understand their needs, preferences, and expectations. Engaging with customers through surveys,
interviews, and focus groups allows the business analyst to collect direct feedback, identify pain
points, and discover market trends. This information helps in developing a better understanding of
customer requirements, which, in turn, supports decision-making related to product features,
pricing, and positioning in the market.
37 C To overcome resistance from the IT team regarding technology integrations, the business analyst
should foster collaboration and open communication between the business and IT teams. Joint
workshops and meetings create an environment for both teams to share their concerns, explore
potential solutions, and work together to address integration challenges. This approach ensures
