The project team is working on the requirements specifications for a new product. The team reached a decision on which requirements will be included in the next release. A third of the stakeholders endorse one approach while no other approach achieved more than a quarter of the vote.
Which decision role was used?
Correct Answer: B
Plurality is the decision role that was used by the project team to decide which requirements will be included in the next release. Plurality means that the option with the most votes is selected, even if it does not have a majority (more than 50%) of the votes. Plurality is a decision role that can be used when there are more than two options and a quick decision is needed. References: PMI Guide to Business Analysis, Chapter 4, Section
