Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

According to the PMI Professional in Business Analysis objectives and content, a critical design review is a formal review that occurs after the completion of the design phase of a project. The purpose of a critical design review is to verify that the design specification meets the requirements and that the solution is feasible, cost-effective, and acceptable to the customer. A critical design review can help to establish an approved requirements baseline, which is a set of agreed-upon requirements that serves as a reference for further development and testing activities.Reference:

I feel like starting to document requirements might be the right move, but I can't shake the feeling that approval is more important first.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to decide on the sequence of steps after gathering feedback. I think getting approval was emphasized there too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing stakeholder buy-in before starting any documentation.

Wait, why would we store the document for safe keeping? That doesn't seem like the right approach here. I'm leaning towards option B to obtain approval.

Okay, the key here is that the business analyst has already incorporated all the relevant feedback. So the logical next step is to get approval on the plan before moving forward. I'll select option B.

B) Obtain approval on the plan. Duh, you can't just start documenting requirements without the stakeholders' seal of approval. That's like trying to bake a cake without a recipe - it's just a hot mess waiting to happen.

A) Start documenting requirements. Why waste time getting approval when you can just dive right in? The stakeholders will be impressed by your proactive attitude. What could possibly go wrong?
