Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Managing solution scope is the task of ensuring that the solution meets the agreed-upon requirements and delivers the expected value to the stakeholders. Managing solution scope involves analyzing the impact of any changes to the scope, assessing the feasibility and risks of the changes, and obtaining approval from the stakeholders before implementing the changes. Managing solution scope can help the business analyst to identify the impacts, dependencies, or risks associated with the addition to the scope.Reference: = PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) Examination Content Outline (2019), page 14; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide (2015), page 83.

I’m leaning towards managing requirements prioritization since it seems like a way to evaluate the new requirement against existing ones, but I could be wrong.

I feel like managing solution scope could help identify impacts, but it seems more about keeping things on track rather than assessing new requirements.

I remember a practice question where we had to assess impacts of changes, and I think managing assumptions and constraints might be relevant here too.

I think the business analyst should focus on managing requirements traceability, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option.
