Free PMI PMI-PBA Actual Exam Questions - Question 10 Discussion
determine if any impacts, dependencies, or risks are associated with the addition to the scope.
What task should the business analyst perform in order to identify these impacts?
B imo, traceability maps out links between requirements, helping spot impacts clearly.
I see where D is coming from, but it feels too narrow since assumptions and constraints don’t cover the full picture of impacts and dependencies. Option A seems broader—it’s about managing the whole solution scope, so it should include analyzing how new requirements affect everything else. I’d go with A here since it’s about controlling the scope changes and spotting risks linked to those changes.
This one feels like A. Managing solution scope is about controlling changes and understanding how new requirements affect the overall project, which should cover impacts, dependencies, and risks. B (traceability) helps track relationships but might not dive deep into risk or broader impact analysis. D is more about the environment or project limits, not exactly the new requirement’s direct impact. So, going with A here since it’s about managing the scope changes themselves and their effects on the solution.
I’m thinking option D could be useful since assumptions and constraints often reveal hidden risks or dependencies when something new is added. Anyone else see it that way or does A cover that better?
B tbh. But are we sure it’s about traceability here? Shouldn't the BA also check if the scope change affects existing requirements or constraints? The question feels like it needs more context.
