What is the next step for a business analyst after the stakeholders have validated the requirements?

Question

Options

• AUpdate the project management plan.
• BUpdate the requirements traceability matrix.
• CUpdate the requirements.
• DUpdate the work breakdown structure (WBS).

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  73% (19)
• C
  15% (4)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

The requirements traceability matrix (RTM) tracks the lifecycle status of each requirement - from elicitation through validation. Once stakeholders have validated (approved) the requirements, the business analyst updates the RTM to reflect that validated status, ensuring there is a documented audit trail. Updating the project management plan (A) or WBS (D) would come later, after requirements are baselined, and those are typically the project manager's responsibilities. Updating the requirements themselves (C) would only occur if stakeholders had rejected or modified them during validation - not after successful validation.
