[All CCBA Questions]

Kendra is the business analyst for her organization. She's working with the project manager and the project sponsor to discuss the current requirements. Kendra believes it's important for the project manager to first implement the requirements with the highest amount of risks. Is this a good idea?

ANo, the project manager and team should actually implement the lowest risk requirements first.

BYes, if the risky requirements cause the project to fail, the organization will not suffer much loss, as it hasn't invested much time or money on the project.

CNo, the project manager and team should implement the requirements with the highest risks last.

DYes, this allows the project manager to get the risky work done as soon as possible in the schedule.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

It's often best to implement the most risky requirements first in the project. If the risky requirements cause the project to fail, the organization will not suffer much loss, as it hasn't invested much time or money on the project.

Answer, A is incorrect. It's not the best idea to implement the lowest risk requirements first.

Answer, C is incorrect. Implementing the highest risk requirements last could cause all of the prior work to be worthless if the risky requirements fail.

Answer, D is incorrect. This choice is tempting, but the best reason is the financial consideration of the risky event in the project.

I recall that getting the risky work done early can help with scheduling, but I wonder if it might backfire if those risks aren't managed well.

I think Kendra's approach could be risky, but if the project hasn't invested much yet, maybe it could work? I'm a bit torn on this one.

I remember discussing risk management in class, and I think we learned that addressing high-risk items early can be beneficial, but I'm not entirely sure if that's always the case.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where it was emphasized to tackle lower-risk requirements first to build confidence and momentum. That makes sense to me.

I'm a bit unsure about this question. There are a few settings mentioned that could potentially be relevant, but I'm not sure which two would be the best fit. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about how each one might impact the automatic posting of inventory-related documents.

The footer? Really? I don't think that's where the marketer should focus. The body and envelope content seem like the obvious places to start optimizing.
