Question
A business analyst (BA) has a meeting next week with the project sponsor to ensure that the requirements align with the objective of the project. Prior to the meeting, the BA must ensure that the requirements are:

- Cpredictive, diagnostic, and descriptive
- Dcorrect, capable, and strategic

Why each option
Before sponsor review, requirements must be atomic, feasible, and testable - these three quality attributes confirm requirements are discrete, achievable, and verifiable.
Parametric, analogous, and decomposed are project estimation techniques used for cost and schedule estimation, not quality characteristics applied to requirements.
Atomic means each requirement is a single, discrete, and self-contained statement with no bundled conditions, ensuring clarity and traceability. Feasible confirms the requirement can realistically be implemented within project constraints such as budget, time, and technology. Testable ensures there is a defined, objective way to verify that the implementation satisfies the requirement - without testability, acceptance criteria cannot be established and requirement fulfillment cannot be confirmed.
Predictive, diagnostic, and descriptive are categories of data analytics, not requirement quality attributes used in business analysis.
Correct and capable are not standard BABOK requirement quality characteristics, and strategic describes business objectives rather than individual requirement properties.
Concept tested: Requirements quality attributes - atomic, feasible, testable
