What should the team do to reduce the risk of rework?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Validating the requirements is a key activity to reduce the risk of rework, especially for a project with a tight timeline and a lean budget. Validating the requirements means ensuring that they are aligned with the business needs, objectives, and expectations of the stakeholders, and that they are clear, complete, consistent, feasible, and testable.Validating the requirements can help the business analyst and the project team to identify and resolve any errors, gaps, conflicts, or ambiguities in the requirements before they are implemented, and to avoid any unnecessary changes or rework later in the project lifecycle.Reference: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) Examination Content Outline1, page 20; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide2, page 100.

I’ve seen Pareto analysis used in similar scenarios, but I wonder if it’s really necessary at this early stage of development.

Organizing a new elicitation workshop sounds like it could help clarify things, but I feel like it might add more time to the timeline we’re already tight on.

I think validating the requirements before continuing with development is crucial to avoid rework, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best first step.

Validating the requirements is definitely the way to go here. With a tight timeline and lean budget, we need to make sure we get the requirements right the first time to avoid rework. I feel confident in this approach.

I'm a little confused on this one. Should we organize a new elicitation workshop or just validate the requirements? I'll have to review the material again to make sure I understand the right strategy.
