Question 125
Which of the following defines the deliverable the customer is expecting?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation The product scope statement defines the deliverable the customer is expecting. It describes the features, functions, and characteristics of the product, service, or result that will be produced by the project. It also defines the acceptance criteria, assumptions, and constraints related to the product scope. The product scope statement is a key input for developing the project scope statement, which defines the work that needs to be done to deliver the product scope. The product scope statement is usually created by the business analyst in collaboration with the customer and other stakeholders, and approved by the solution owner.

Question 126
A business analyst (BA) has completed the prioritization of requirements with various risk-averse stakeholder groups. Several requirements conflict with a regulatory requirement that, if not implemented, will result in a fine from a regulatory body. What should the BA do?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation The BA should inform the stakeholders that the regulatory requirement takes precedence over other requirements, because it is a mandatory constraint that must be satisfied by the solution. The BA should explain the rationale and implications of the regulatory requirement, and how it affects the other requirements and the solution scope. The BA should also seek to resolve any conflicts or issues that may arise from the stakeholders, and ensure that they understand and accept the priority of the regulatory requirement. Measuring the value of the other requirements against the penalty of not meeting the regulatory requirement, comparing the regulatory requirement to the recommended solution, or determining a means to work around the regulatory requirement are not the best options, because they do not address the root cause of the problem and may result in non-compliance, legal liability, or stakeholder dissatisfaction.
