A: The communications management plan will dictate what will happen to the business analysis communications: This is a correct answer, as the communications management plan is a document that describes how the communication needs and expectations of the stakeholders will be met, including the methods, frequency, format, and distribution of the business analysis communications. The communications management plan should also specify how the communications will be stored, retrieved, and disposed of at the end of the project.
B: All formal communication must be destroyed once the project is completed: This is an incorrect answer, as it contradicts the principle of traceability, which is the ability to link the requirements and other business analysis deliverables to their sources and to the solution components that satisfy them.
Traceability helps to ensure the quality, completeness, and alignment of the business analysis work.
Destroying the communication documents would make it impossible to trace the rationale, assumptions, decisions, and changes that occurred during the project.
C: All communications must be archived and will become part of the organizational process assets: This is a correct answer, as the organizational process assets are the plans, processes, policies, procedures, and knowledge bases that are specific to and used by the performing organization. They include any artifact, practice, or knowledge that can help the organization to perform its business analysis activities more effectively and efficiently. Archiving the communication documents would enable the organization to reuse, update, or improve them for future projects or initiatives.
D: All communications must be documented and passed onto the solution's project manager for analysis and to serve as supporting detail: This is an incorrect answer, as it implies that the business analyst is not responsible for analyzing the communication documents or providing supporting detail for the solution. The business analyst is the primary role that performs the business analysis activities, such as eliciting, analyzing, validating, and managing the requirements and other business analysis deliverables. The project manager is the primary role that performs the project management activities, such as initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing the project. The business analyst and the project manager should collaborate and communicate effectively throughout the project, but they have different roles and responsibilities.
