A business analyst (BA) is facilitating a meeting between process owners to capture the business rules for a workflow solution. One of the attendees expresses a strong opinion that the solution will…

Updating requirements immediately based on one attendee's expressed opinion is premature and bypasses proper analysis and change control processes.

Recording the feedback and continuing the meeting is the correct BA response because it formally acknowledges the stakeholder's concern without derailing the session or making premature decisions. Documenting dissent keeps the process owner engaged by showing their input is valued, and creates an audit trail for follow-up analysis. This approach respects proper change control while maintaining meeting momentum.

Reviewing the future state does not directly address the stakeholder's concern about solution value and does not ensure their continued engagement or support for the change.

Changing the governance approach is an excessive response to a single concern raised in a meeting and is outside the scope of a facilitation session.
