PMI-PBA Exam Topic 3 Question 29 Discussion:
Question #: 29
Topic #: 3
During user acceptance testing, a defect is logged by a user from a department that did not participate in the requirements analysis. To avoid this situation and minimize impact on the project, the user should have been:
A.
interviewed to understand how the user's work would be impacted.
B.
involved in the development and sign-off of the business requirements.
C.
identified as a stakeholder as part of the stakeholder analysis.
D.
given the opportunity to review the user acceptance test scripts.
Stakeholder analysis is a process of identifying and analyzing the stakeholders who have an interest or influence on the project and its outcomes. Stakeholder analysis helps to ensure that the requirements are elicited from all relevant sources and that the stakeholders are appropriately engaged throughout the project. By identifying the user from a department that did not participate in the requirements analysis as a stakeholder, the business analyst could have avoided the situation of logging a defect during user acceptance testing and minimized the impact on the project. Interviewing the user to understand how the user’s work would be impacted, involving the user in the development and sign-off of the business requirements, and giving the user the opportunity to review the user acceptance test scripts are possible actions that could be taken after identifying the user as a stakeholder, but they are not sufficient to avoid the situation and minimize the impact on the project.
