Explanation
According to the BABOK® Guide, requirements allocation is "the process of assigning stakeholder and solution requirements to solution components in order to provide a common understanding of the scope and value of each component" (p. 36). The business analyst and the organization should start requirements allocation as soon as the solution approach is determined, which is the output of the Define Future State task in the Strategy Analysis knowledge area. The solution approach defines the "overall direction for how the organization will achieve the desired future state" (p. 30). By allocating requirements to solution components based on the solution approach, the business analyst and the organization can ensure that the requirements are aligned with the business objectives and deliver value to stakeholders.
