D. Risk Analysis and Management: used to identify, assess, and manage conditions or situations that could disrupt the elicitation, or affect the quality and validity of the elicitation results. The plans for the elicitation should be adjusted to avoid, transfer, or mitigate the most serious risks. Pg 60

Tricky question. Collaborative games (B) and Risk Analysis and Management (D) could be both right answers. But I will go with "B", cause the sentence "avoid disrupting the workshop" and the definition of Collaborative games is "stimulate teamwork by temporarily immersing participants in a safe and fun situation", exactly here to avoid disruption. Risk Analysis and management is more a technique to get users engaged, not to avoid disruption

Selected Answer: D
When the BA learns that a workshop attendee may be unhappy about the project’s impact on their work, this presents a risk that could disrupt the workshop. To address this proactively, the BA should use Risk Analysis and Management to: • Identify the risk (potential disruption by the unhappy attendee). • Assess the likelihood and potential impact. • Develop a mitigation plan (e.g., meeting with the person in advance, clarifying concerns, adjusting the agenda, or having a conflict resolution strategy ready).

Page 73, V3 Stakeholders are more likely to support change if business analysts collaborate with them and encourage the free flow of information, ideas, and innovations. Genuine stakeholder engagement requires that all stakeholders involved feel that they are heard, their opinions matter, and their contributions are recognized. Collaboration involves regular, frequent, and bi-directional communication. Collaborative relationships help maintain the free flow of information when obstacles and setbacks occur, and promote a shared effort to resolve problems and achieve desired outcomes.

BABOK 10.10.1: Collaborative games encourage participants in an elicitation activity to collaborate in building a joint understanding of a problem or a solution.

B. Collaborative Games: The question states that "attendee is likely to be unhappy about the project's impact on their work", this portrays uncertainty about the outcome of the project from this attendee. Hence collaborative games help in building a joint understanding of the problem and also the solution.

Collaborative Games refers to encouraging participants in elicitation activities and to collaborate in building a joint understanding of problems and solutions. If they want to avoid the stakeholder interrupting the workshop this is not the right forum. They need to define and manage ways of dealing with potential risks to the project - which is what Risk Analysis and Management is about
