You are the business analyst for your organization and are preparing to conduct stakeholder analysis. As part of this process you realize that you'll need several inputs.
Which one of the following is NOT an input you'll use for the conduct stakeholder analysis task?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Enterprise architecture is not an input for the conduct stakeholder analysis task. Enterprise architecture is a description of the structure, behavior, and governance of an organization and its information systems.
Enterprise architecture may be an output of the business analysis process, but it is not an input for identifying and analyzing the stakeholders. The inputs for the conduct stakeholder analysis task are enterprise environmental factors, organizational process assets, and business need. Enterprise environmental factors are the internal and external factors that may influence the business analysis activities, such as the organizational culture, structure, policies, processes, and systems. Organizational process assets are the existing resources, standards, and guidelines that can be used to perform the business analysis activities, such as templates, tools, methodologies, and best practices. Business need is the problem or opportunity that the organization is facing and that requires a solution. References:
