Explanation

According to the BABOK® Guide, a business analyst (BA) should perform stakeholder analysis to identify the stakeholders who may be affected by or have an influence on the project, and to understand their needs, expectations, interests, power, and impact.

By conducting a stakeholder analysis, the BA could have identified the sources and causes of the conflicts and issues, and devised strategies to resolve them effectively and efficiently.
