IIBA ECBA Exam - Topic 3 Question 127 Discussion

Posted by Ivan on Jul 01, 2026 at 09:15 AM

In prioritizing requirements, which of the following factors include difficulty of implementing a requirement, or the likelihood that a requirement cannot deliver its potential value?

Suggested Answer: D

In the context of prioritizing requirements, risk refers to the difficulty of implementing a requirement or the likelihood that it cannot deliver its potential value. Risk-based prioritization considers uncertainties related to implementation, cost overruns, time delays, or failure to achieve desired outcomes. High-risk requirements may be prioritized lower unless mitigated effectively.

BABOK Reference -- Task: Prioritize Requirements (Section 5.2):

''Risk: the chance that the requirement cannot deliver the potential value, or that the solution may not deliver the expected benefit.''
