You are a business analyst for your organization. Your current business analysis endeavor includes working with stakeholders who are located in…

Because the stakeholders are dispersed, what are likely to increase in this endeavor as opposed to a

collocated group of stakeholders are communication needs and risks. Communication needs are the

requirements and expectations of the stakeholders regarding the frequency, format, content, and

quality of the information exchange during the business analysis work12. Risks are the uncertain

events or conditions that may have a positive or negative effect on the business analysis work or the

solution34. When the stakeholders are dispersed, the communication needs and risks tend to

increase, as there may be challenges or barriers related to the time zones, languages, cultures,

technologies, or processes that affect the collaboration and coordination among the stakeholders.

The other options are not likely to increase in this endeavor, as they depend on other factors, such as

the project scope, budget, schedule, or quality, such as face-to-face meetings (A), which may not be

feasible or necessary for dispersed stakeholders, or costs (D), which may not be directly related to

the stakeholder dispersion. Reference: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® |
