Structured walkthroughs are meetings that help determine if the stakeholders agree that their needs are being met with the identified requirements.

Answer A is incorrect. Risk analysis reviews identified risks in the requirements to determine the probability and impact of the risk event.

Answer B is incorrect. Prototyping is used to gain user agreement with the proposed solution and requirements for the solution.

Answer C is incorrect. Stakeholder management is not a technique that is used as part of validating requirements.

These are the primary inputs of planning the business analysis approach. The primary input of planning the business analysis approach is to consider the problem or opportunity faced by the organization. Time allowed for business analysis planning does have an effect on the thoroughness of the business analysis activities.

The risk associated with the plan is also considered.

Templates for requirements packages are taken from organizational process assets. Answer C is incorrect. Essential isn't a valid explanation for this Question.

Answer D is incorrect. Enterprise environmental factors aren't where templates originate from for business analyst requirements packages.

Answer B is incorrect. This isn't a valid term for organizational process assets or templates needed by the business analyst.

Changes generally increase towards the end of the project. This can be due to a loosely defined scope, lack of requirements, and other reasons.

Answer B is incorrect. The scope management process happens throughout the project until the scope is completed.

Answer C is incorrect. Changes are easier to incorporate at the launch of the project but generally do not happen until later in the project.

Answer A is incorrect. Scope changes generally happen towards the end of the project.

Requirements that do not add direct or indirect value need to be removed from the requirements set.

Answer B is incorrect. It's not best to justify the existence of requirements; requirements must contribute to the business need or solution.

Answer A is incorrect. If the requirements do not add some type of value, then you don't need to determine the purpose of the requirements. This answer isn't valid.

Answer C is incorrect. If the requirements were integrated or linked to other requirements, then it would already be evident that the requirements offer an indirect value to the requirements, solution, or stakeholders.

Requirements allocation typically begins early in the project lifecycle (as soon as the solution approach is determined) and will continue to be performed until all valid requirements are allocated.

Allocation typically continues through design and construction of a solution.

Answer C is incorrect. Requirements allocation doesn't have to wait until the project has been chartered. Answer B is incorrect. Approval of the requirements is good, but the solution scope for the requirements needs to be created to begin allocating the requirements.

Answer A is incorrect. The budget creation isn't linked to the requirements allocation process.

While every project manager wants to achieve customer satisfaction, this subjective term is too vague to be measured or accounted for.

What one person deems customer satisfaction may be low compared to another. Requirements need metrics to determine the level of success.

Answer C is incorrect. The subjective requirements cannot be measured or mapped to quality requirements. Answer B is incorrect. This is not an assumption, but a subjective requirement.

Answer A is incorrect. This is not a risk, but a requirement that needs metric for measurement attached to it.

The best answer is to work with stakeholders to determine what business analysis activities should be done in the present initiative.

Answer B is incorrect. There's not a need to define an organizational standard immediately, as this can evolve over time based on projects and business analysis experience in the organization.

Answer C is incorrect. A business case isn't needed; the business analyst needs to work with the stakeholders to define the needed activities.

Answer D is incorrect. While this answer is tempting, it does not address the cooperation and involvement of the stakeholders.

Change-driven approaches to business analysis deal with rapid delivery of the business value. The business value is delivered in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution. The change-driven approaches are preferred while taking an exploratory approach for incremental improvement of an existing solution.

Answer D is incorrect. Iterative is not a valid business analysis approach.

Answer C is incorrect. The plan-driven approach defines business analysis activities. This approach is used to focus on minimizing up-front uncertainty and to ensure that the solution is fully defined before implementation begins in order to maximize control and minimize risk. It is preferred when requirements are effectively defined in advance of implementation. Answer A is incorrect.

Progressive elaboration describes the project management approach of refining requirements and project scope, not the business analysis approach.
