PMI Professional in Business Analysis PMI-PBA Question # 43 Topic 5 Discussion

A review is a technique that involves examining a work product, such as requirements, to identify errors, omissions, inconsistencies, or ambiguities. A review can be formal or informal, depending on the level of rigor and documentation required. A review can be conducted by the business analyst alone or with other stakeholders, such as the project manager, the sponsor, the subject matter experts, or the end users. A review can be done through various methods, such as reading, walkthroughs, inspections, or peer reviews. The purpose of a review is to ensure that the requirements are clear, complete, correct, and consistent, and that they meet the quality standards and expectations of the stakeholders. By conducting a review, the business analyst can obtain approval from the stakeholders and confirm their agreement and commitment to the requirements. References: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline1, page 23; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide2, page 131.
