CBAP Business Analyst Exam Prep

Answer: C - To conduct a successful interview with a subject matter expert (SME), the business analyst must be able to document the discussion accurately, be experienced in conducting interview, and must familiarize him/herself with the business domain.

Key Takeaway: While a Business Analyst who is conducting an interview must make him/herself familiar with the business domain of the project, he or she does not need to know as much about the subject as the SME. It is sufficient that the Business Analyst can ask relevant questions and then follow-up when he or she receives the answers.
