Exam Certified Business Analyst topic 1 question 21 discussion

"The definition should avoid assumptions and focus on stakeholder value." I guess because of this part of the questions answer "C" - user stories is correct.

Requirements are used to define the intended results of the work and they should be based on stakeholder needs, be clear and specific, and avoid making assumptions. Requirements help the development and implementation teams to understand what needs to be delivered and how it should be tested. Epics and user stories are used to break down the requirements into smaller, more manageable pieces, but they are not typically used to define the intended results. - hence answer should be B. Requirements

Development and Implementation teams work with User Stories, not Requirements. Even though User Stories have come from Requirements, the former i.e. User Stories speak directly to the needs of the stakeholders - whilst Requirements can focus on other things...Non-functional, General & Technical Requirements are all types of Requirements and sometimes are not directly focused on stakeholders.

C because ' Should for on stakeholder value'.

C is correct

User stories are a fundamental component of Agile development and are used to capture the intended functionality or features of a product from the perspective of the end-users or stakeholders. They are concise, specific, and written in a way that describes the user's need, the functionality they desire, and the value it provides. User stories help the development and implementation teams understand the requirements and objectives of the project, enabling them to plan product decisions that align with stakeholder needs and deliver the most value to the users. Epics, on the other hand, are larger, more high-level requirements that can be broken down into smaller user stories. Requirements is not a standard Agile term and doesn't align with the approach of defining user stories based on stakeholder needs and value.

Answer is B. By defining clear requirements, the BA can articulate the intended results of the work in a way that is precise, measurable, and actionable.
