IIBA CCBA Exam - Topic 1 Question 109 Discussion

Posted by Reena on Mar 19, 2025 at 03:24 PM

A business analyst (BA) is examining the relationships between elicited requirements on a project. What quality criteria must be satisfied when the BA is defining requirements relationships?

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Requirementsrelationships must be necessaryto ensure that each requirementlogically contributes to the overall solutionwithout unnecessary dependencies.

BABOK Guide (Chapter 5.1 - Trace Requirements)states thatdefining necessary relationships ensures that dependencies are valid and avoid redundant or irrelevant links.

Source (Option A)identifies requirement origins but does not determine relationship validity.

Complexity (Option B)describes difficulty but is not a requirement relationship criterion.

Priority (Option D)ranks requirements but does not define their relationships.

This is a good question to test our understanding of requirements management. I'd focus on ensuring the relationships are clearly documented, support the business needs, and can be easily maintained over time. Gotta nail those details!

Okay, I think I've got this. The key quality criteria are that the requirements relationships need to be necessary, prioritized, and reflect the complexity of the system. I'll make sure to address those points in my answer.
