IIBA Certification of Capability in Business Analysis CCBA Question # 91 Topic 10 Discussion

 According to the BABOK® Guide, documenting outcomes of discussions with stakeholders is a technique that helps to capture and communicate the information obtained from elicitation and collaboration activities. Documenting outcomes of discussions with stakeholders helps to ensure that the new BA understands the project by providing a clear and consistent record of the requirements, assumptions, issues, decisions, and actions that have been identified or agreed upon by the stakeholders. Documenting outcomes of discussions with stakeholders also helps to avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, and rework. References: BABOK® Guide, Version 3, Chapter 4: Elicitation and Collaboration, Section 4.3: Confirm Elicitation Results, Page 88; Chapter 10: Techniques, Section 10.13: Documenting Outcomes of Discussions with Stakeholders, Page 402.
