A sports wristwatch product manufacturer wants to add a blood sugar monitoring toolkit to the watch. Market research has confirmed that the most profitable segment of the manufacturer’s target customer is looking for this feature. The business analyst (BA) worked with the product owner to finalize the set of requirements and design options and then defined multiple approaches for implementing the feature. At this point, the solutions' team agreed that they were unable to accurately assess the merits of each of the proposed solutions. What is the possible reason?
Answer options
A: Requirements are not allocated to solution components
B: Too many approaches are dividing the team
C: Business needs are unclear to the team
D: Requirements and design options are not detailed enough Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Requirements and design options are not detailed enough
Explanation

The possible reason why the solutions’ team was unable to accurately assess the merits of each of the proposed solutions is that the requirements and design options were not detailed enough. This means that the requirements and design options did not provide sufficient information, clarity, or specificity for the solutions’ team to understand, evaluate, and compare the different approaches for implementing the feature. The lack of detail may also lead to ambiguity, inconsistency, or incompleteness in the requirements and design options, which can affect the quality and feasibility of the solutions. The BA should ensure that the requirements and design options are detailed enough to meet the needs and expectations of the stakeholders, and to support the decision making and implementation processes. Requirements are not allocated to solution components, too many approaches are dividing the team, or business needs are unclear to the team are not the best options for the possible reason, because they are either irrelevant, inaccurate, or not the root cause of the problem. Reference: CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, 2nd Edition, Chapter 7: Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, page 280 Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) Guide, Version 3, Chapter 7: Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, section 7.5: Specify and Model Requirements, page 133 Business Analysis Professional Resources, IIBA Resource Collection, Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) Guide CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, 2nd Edition, Chapter 7: Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, page 280
