Why each option
When requirements must be distributed across multiple solution components and sub-projects, the BA performs Allocate Requirements to assign each requirement to the appropriate component, ensuring full coverage of all objectives.
Describe Design Options involves presenting alternative solution approaches for stakeholder evaluation, not distributing requirements to specific solution components.
In BABOK v3, Allocate Requirements is the task of assigning requirements to specific solution components, releases, or sub-projects. With three companies handling distinct sub-projects - statutory compliance, custom development, and infrastructure - the BA maps each requirement to the responsible component to maintain traceability and ensure no objective is left unaddressed across the combined service offering.
Identify Improvement Opportunities focuses on finding gaps or inefficiencies between the current and desired state, not on assigning requirements to components.
Define Solution Approaches establishes the high-level strategy for addressing the business need, not the granular assignment of requirements to individual sub-projects or components.
