A business analyst (BA) finds that the proposed solution has features used by a small group of stakeholders for business scenarios which may occur up to three times a year Out require a high effort…

Changing the business process is a disproportionate and unrelated response to a cost-benefit imbalance in a single low-frequency feature.

Removing the requirement entirely is too drastic, as the feature may still carry legitimate business value worth reconsidering in a later release cycle.

Assigning lower priority for a future release is appropriate because the feature's combination of high implementation effort, infrequent occurrence (up to three times per year), and limited stakeholder reach yields poor return on investment relative to initial-release alternatives. Deferring preserves stakeholder goodwill by acknowledging the need without consuming disproportionate capacity now. A future release allows re-evaluation once higher-value items have been delivered, which aligns with standard prioritization practice in BABOK's Prioritize Requirements task.

Delivering a high-effort feature used infrequently by a small group in the initial release wastes capacity that should be allocated to higher-value requirements.
