IIBA CBAP Exam - Topic 3 Question 134 Discussion

Posted by Jina on Jul 02, 2026 at 01:38 AM

All of the following are techniques that can be used to specify or model requirements except for which one?

Suggested Answer: C

Work breakdown structure creation is a technique that can be used to plan and manage the business analysis work, but it is not a technique to specify or model requirements. Organization modeling, data modeling, and state diagrams are all techniques that can be used to describe different aspects of the requirements, such as the stakeholders, the data, and the behavior of the solution.Reference:

I recall that data modeling and state diagrams are common in requirements, but I can't quite place work breakdown structures in that context.

I’m a bit confused because I thought all of these were related to requirements in some way, but work breakdown structure creation seems different to me.
