Explanation

According to the BABOK® Guide, a risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives. A business analyst (BA) should identify, analyze, and manage risks throughout the business analysis process. In this scenario, the potential organizational restructure is a risk that could affect the requirements and the solution scope of the new system. Therefore, the BA should record this risk and assess its probability and impact on the project objectives. The BA should also plan how to respond to this risk if it materializes, such as by revising the requirements or modifying the solution design. This way, the BA can proactively manage the risk and minimize its negative effects on the project.
