In a software implementation project, the designated business analyst (BA) has conducted all the elicitation activities and now needs to confirm the elicitation results.
What is used by the BA Professional to guide which sources of information and which results are to be compared?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The business analysis approach is used by the BA Professional to guide which sources of information and which results are to be compared when confirming the elicitation results. The business analysis approach is a description of the methodology, techniques, tools, and deliverables that will be used to conduct the business analysis work. The business analysis approach can help the BA Professional to determine the best way to compare and validate the elicitation results, and to ensure that they are consistent, complete, and accurate. The business analysis approach can also help the BA Professional to identify and resolve any conflicts, gaps, or issues that may arise from the elicitation results. Information management approach, business analysis plan, or elicitation activity plan are not the best options for guiding which sources of information and which results are to be compared, because they are either too specific, too general, or not directly related to the confirmation of the elicitation results.
