Selected Answer: D
"Before the BA can proceed with any analysis of the features, they need to confirm that the feature requests are valid and aligned with the product vision and goals. Customer support calls may not reflect the actual needs and preferences of the target market, and may include requests that are out of scope or inconsistent with the product strategy. Therefore, the BA should first validate the feature requests with the product owner and other stakeholders, and eliminate any irrelevant or invalid ones. BABOK Guide v3, section 7.2.2.1: “The business analyst validates that the requirements and designs are aligned with the business need and the solution scope."

A is the correct option. All features are customer suggestions and confirming such might be close to impossible.

Clear Ans D. These features elicited are unconfirmed and need to be confirm with other elicited results or against source information. Confirming elicitation results checks the information gather during an elicitation session for accuracy and consistency with other information.

The correct answer is A. Feature suggestions have been compiled from customer support calls. What's the need of reconfirming considering the source of information (support calls). Look at it from a practical point. I believe determining the value of the features is the logical thing to do next. Its not a BABOK question.

Ans is C- features can be prioritized in different ways including value but not necessarily only by it. there can be a regulatory requirement which may produce low value but has to be done first. Hence Prioritisation is step no 1.

I am thinking this should either be C or D. Leaning toward C since it roughly translates to "5.3 Prioritize Requirements" and D roughly translates to "7.2 Verify Requirements"

Leaning toward C since it roughly translates to "5.3 Prioritize Requirements" - The purpose of Prioritize Requirements is to rank requirements in the order of relative importance. Prioritization is the act of ranking requirements to determine their relative importance to stakeholders. When a requirement is prioritized, it is given greater or lesser priority. Priority can refer to the relative value of a requirement, or to the sequence in which it will be implemented. Prioritization is an ongoing process, with priorities changing as the context changes. Inter-dependencies between requirements are identified and may be used as the basis for prioritization. Prioritization is a critical exercise that seeks to ensure the maximum value is achieved. and D roughly translates to "7.2 Verify Requirements- Verifying requirements ensures that the requirements and designs have been defined correctly. Requirements verification constitutes a check by the business analyst and key stakeholders to determine that the requirements and designs are ready for validation, and provides the information needed for further work to be performed.
