I’m surprised there’s so much disagreement among us!

Really? I thought the BA just gathers info, not decides what's correct.

Wait, why should the BA do it? Isn't that my job?

I feel like the BA should definitely be the one to model the requirements, but I'm not completely certain if that’s the best way to resolve the variations.

I'm a bit confused about whether the project manager should be the one to decide on the requirements. I thought the BA's role was more about gathering and clarifying.

I think we practiced a similar question where the BA facilitated a review meeting to clarify requirements. That might be the right approach here too.

I remember we discussed the importance of involving all stakeholders in resolving inconsistencies, but I'm not sure if the BA should model the requirements or if it should be the project manager.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Phillip has two plans, and both have typical COB provisions, but no nonduplication clause. So the plans will coordinate to pay the full amount, but not exceed the total cost. I think the answer is B, $300.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review my notes on currency management before answering.

The BA should definitely model the requirements in a review meeting. It's like a group therapy session for stakeholders - time to hash out those inconsistencies and find some common ground.

I'm just imagining the project manager standing up in the review meeting, pounding the table, and shouting 'Because I said so!' Not the most constructive approach, if you ask me.

I'd avoid the BA just selecting the 'correct' requirements on their own. That's a recipe for missed requirements and unhappy stakeholders. Gotta get everyone in the same room to hash this out.

I believe the project manager should also be involved in the review meeting to provide their input and make a decision.

While the project manager's input is valuable, they shouldn't unilaterally decide which requirements are relevant. That could lead to bias and miss important stakeholder needs.
