CBAP Business Analyst Exam Prep

Answer: B - Following the identification of key stakeholders when planning and managing requirements, a Business Analyst must summarize the impact of each stakeholder by outlining project impact and number of direct users, essential requirements sources, and geographic distance.

Key Takeaway: Stakeholders are specifically chosen in projects not only because they are affected in some way by the project but because they have an impact on requirement planning and management. Depending on the stakeholders role and involvement, their actual impact and ability to secure requirements sources is summarized next to their names at the beginning of a project. This allows the Business Analyst to know whom to seek for specific information when gathering requirements planning.
