IIBA Certification of Capability in Business Analysis CCBA Question # 168 Topic 17 Discussion

Because the stakeholders are dispersed, what are likely to increase in this endeavor as opposed to a collocated group of stakeholders are communication needs and risks. Communication needs are the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders regarding the frequency, format, content, and quality of the information exchange during the business analysis work12. Risks are the uncertain events or conditions that may have a positive or negative effect on the business analysis work or the solution34. When the stakeholders are dispersed, the communication needs and risks tend to increase, as there may be challenges or barriers related to the time zones, languages, cultures, technologies, or processes that affect the collaboration and coordination among the stakeholders. The other options are not likely to increase in this endeavor, as they depend on other factors, such as the project scope, budget, schedule, or quality, such as face-to-face meetings (A), which may not be feasible or necessary for dispersed stakeholders, or costs (D), which may not be directly related to the stakeholder dispersion. References: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, Certification of Capability in Business Analysis™ (CCBA®), Business Analysis Certification Competencies, CCBA® | IIBA®, The Ultimate Guide to Business Capability Analysis, [Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA®) - Simplilearn]
