Exam CBAP topic 1 question 205 discussion

Inputs: Needs; Stakeholder Engagement Approach Maby D is correct?

B is correct. What will not help you prepare for elicitation activity is stakeholders concerns because you have not carried out the elicitation yet. Why should their views be a problem?

Stakeholder concerns are not considered a formal input in the Prepare for Elicitation process. While concerns may arise during elicitation sessions or stakeholder analysis, they are not a required input when preparing for elicitation. The process focuses on understanding the problem, identifying stakeholders, and defining the solution boundaries before conducting elicitation.

B is correct

1 Understand the Scope of Elicitation To determine the type of business analysis information to be discovered during the elicitation activity and the techniques that may be used, business analysts consider: • business domain, • overall corporate culture and environment, • stakeholder locations, • stakeholders who are involved and their group dynamics, • expected outputs the elicitation activities will feed, • skills of the business analysis practitioner, • other elicitation activities planned to complement this one, • strategy or solution approach, • scope of future solution, and • possible sources of the business analysis information that might feed into the specific elicitation activit

4.1.4.5 Prepare Stakeholders ...Stakeholders may be unresponsive or challenging during an elicitation activity if they feel that it is not aligned to their individual objectives, don't understand the purpose, or are confused about the process. In preparing for elicitation, the business analyst should ensure that there is buy-in from all necessary stakeholders. There is nothing about the solution scope in Prepare for Elicitation task To my opinion, the correct answer is D

Stakeholder concerns would be documented in a risk Register. D is part of the objectives and goals so should remain for elicitation purposes.
