A business analyst (BA) has been writing requirements for a project that has several stakeholders with varying levels of product expertise. What must the BA take into consideration to meet stakeholder

Individual stakeholder competency is a characteristic to be aware of, but it is an input that informs decomposition decisions rather than a standalone action the BA takes when writing requirements.

Format refers to how requirements are presented such as text or tables, and is a secondary concern compared to ensuring the correct depth of detail for each stakeholder group.

Types of diagrams produced is a subset of format decisions and does not directly address the granularity of detail needed by stakeholders with varying levels of product expertise.

Level of decomposition refers to how granularly requirements are broken down - business stakeholders may need high-level summaries while technical teams need detailed specifications. Adjusting decomposition ensures each stakeholder group receives requirements at the right level of detail to review, validate, and act upon. BABOK guidance on requirements decomposition emphasizes matching detail depth to the stakeholder's role and knowledge level.
