A business analyst has been assigned to a project team that is redesigning the company's website. The business analyst has been documenting the relationships between requirements and has found requirements that do not trace to a business need.

Which type of requirements are these?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The type of requirements that do not trace to a business need are out-of-scope requirements. Out-of-scope requirements are the requirements that are not related to the project scope, objectives, or deliverables, and that do not contribute to the solution of the business problem or opportunity. Out-of-scope requirements are usually identified and excluded during the requirements analysis and traceability processes, to avoid wasting time, resources, and effort on unnecessary or irrelevant features or functions.Out-of-scope requirements can be caused by various factors, such as unclear or changing business needs, conflicting or unrealistic stakeholder expectations, poor communication or elicitation techniques, or lack of validation or verification methods.Reference: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) Examination Content Outline1, page 18; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide2, page 92.

I thought they might be in-scope at first, but this makes sense.

Wait, are we sure they’re out-of-scope? Could be a misunderstanding.

Those are definitely out-of-scope requirements.

I’m a bit confused. Could they be considered implemented if they were already in the system but not needed?

This sounds similar to a practice question I did where we identified requirements that didn't serve a purpose. I feel like "out-of-scope" fits here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about requirements needing to align with business goals. Could it be that they are just not tested yet?

I think these requirements might be out-of-scope since they don't connect to any business need.
