In performing the task of planning for business analysis governance for a software implementation project, the business analyst (BA) recommends that prioritization of requirements be done based on the amount of work that the project team is capable of delivering in a given period of time.
Which of the following techniques is the BA recommending?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Time boxing is a technique that involves allocating a fixed amount of time for a specific activity or deliverable. It is often used in agile and iterative approaches to prioritize and manage requirements based on the amount of work that the project team can complete within a given time frame, such as a sprint or an iteration. Time boxing helps to focus on the most important and valuable requirements, deliver frequent and incremental value, and reduce scope creep and rework. Negotiation, grouping, and budgeting are not techniques that are based on the amount of work that the project team is capable of delivering in a given period of time. References:
