You are the business analyst for your organization. As part of the requirements prioritization you have given each key stakeholder $10,000 in play money to distribute among the identified requirements. Each stakeholder can assign their play money to any of the requirements, but the requirementswill be prioritized based on the value of the play money assigned to each requirement.
What type of requirements prioritization is happening in this scenario?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Voting is a technique of requirements prioritization that involves asking the stakeholders to express their preferences for the requirements using various methods, such as ranking, rating, or allocating points or money.
Voting helps to achieve consensus and alignment among the stakeholders and to identify the most important and valuable requirements. In this scenario, the business analyst is using a voting method that assigns play money to the requirements, which reflects the relative importance and benefit of each requirement. The requirements with the highest amount of play money are prioritized over the ones with lower amounts.
