Requirements verification activities are performed iteratively throughout the requirements analysis process. Answer A is incorrect. Requirements verification happens in iterations, not just at milestones (assuming there are milestones in the process).

Answer B is incorrect. Verification activities don't happen just at the end of the requirements gathering process, but iteratively throughout the process.

Answer D is incorrect. This answer is tempting, but it's not the best answer.

End users of a system are the stakeholders that are to have the most direct awareness of problems.

The end users typically represent the largest group of stakeholders and are closest to the applications, services, and facilities where business needs may be represented.

Answer C is incorrect. Project managers may be aware of business needs, but they aren't the most likely stakeholders.

Answer D is incorrect. Functional managers oversee end users and other resources, but may not be the stakeholders closest to the need.

Answer B is incorrect. Business analysts can help identify and clarify the need, but this isn't the best choice for the Question.

Visual learners are people that learn best by observing a model of the problem or visual aids to demonstrate the problem.

Answer B is incorrect. Auditory learners describe people that learn best by oral and written communications. Answer A is incorrect. Kinesthetic learners learn best by experiencing the topic, hands-on activities, and walk- throughs of the identified topic.

Answer C is incorrect. This is not a valid learning type.

When a business analyst sets a goal for the number of ideas to be generated during a brainstorming session, it actually limits the number of ideas that the group can generate. For example, if Brian sets the goal of 25 ideas, then once the group reaches 25, the session ends instead of urging more ideas into the session.

Answer C is incorrect. While it's possible that the goal may be too large to be feasible for the session, this isn't the best choice presented.

Answer B is incorrect. A goal may put pressure on the group, but the best answer is that the goal for the number of ideas may actually limit the number of ideas created.

Answer A is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement as Brian should not create a goal.

Requirements that require a compliance officer to be regulated and inspected are constraints that limit the project's options.

Answer B is incorrect. While these are requirements, the best answer is a constraint. Constraints limit the project's ability to move forward. A delay in the inspection can delay the project.

Answer C is incorrect. This isn't a valid term and isn't applicable to this scenario.

Answer A is incorrect. While some business analysts and project managers may call this a bottleneck in the flow of the project, the correct business analysis term for this is constraint.

An assumption is something that you believe to be true, but it's not been proven to be true or false.

Answer C is incorrect. A constraint is something that limits your options.

Answer D is incorrect. A boundary defines what's in and out of the domain of business analysis, project management, or any other endeavor.

Answer A is incorrect. A risk is an uncertain event or condition that may have a positive or negative effect on the project.

Decomposition describes the process of taking the product or project scope and breaking it down into smaller, more manageable units.

Decomposition is not an elicitation technique.

Answer A is incorrect. Brainstorming is an elicitation technique that's useful for requirements gathering. Answer B is incorrect. Observation allows the stakeholder to actively or passively observe the work to better understand the requirements of the solution.

Answer D is incorrect. Prototyping allows the business analyst and team to create mockups of the deliverable for solution testing and requirements approval.

The business need and the solution scope are the two inputs which help the business analyst understand what should be elicited from the stakeholders.

Answer A is incorrect. Stakeholder list, roles, and responsibilities help the business analyst understand from whom the requirements should be elicited.

Answer D is incorrect. Stakeholder list, roles, and responsibilities help the business analyst understand from whom the requirements should be elicited.

Answer B is incorrect. Risk assessment is a review of the risks in the project and isn't an input to elicitation business analyst tasks.

A primary input to the business analysis approach is to consider the problem or opportunity faced by the organization.

Answer C is incorrect. The time allowed for business analysis planning does have an effect on the thoroughness of the business analysis activities, but this isn't the best answer for the Question.

Answer D is incorrect. While risk and reward are considerations, consideration of the problem or opportunity is a better choice for this Question.

Answer B is incorrect. This answer doesn't consider the reward of the opportunity or acknowledge, as there may also be problems to be solved, not just opportunities to seize.
