In which requirements prioritization factor would time-to-market scenarios apply?

Question

Options

• ACost
• BStability
• CTime sensitivity
• DRegulatory or policy compliance

  2% (1)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  87% (46)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Time sensitivity (C) is correct because time-to-market scenarios are fundamentally about when a requirement must be delivered - deadlines driven by competitive advantage, seasonal windows, or product launch timing all fall under this factor. If a feature misses its window, its business value drops significantly regardless of cost or stability.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Cost - focuses on budget constraints and resource investment, not delivery windows.
• B. Stability - addresses how frequently a requirement is likely to change, not how urgently it must ship.
• D. Regulatory or policy compliance - covers legally mandated requirements; while these can have deadlines, the driver is legal obligation, not market timing.

Memory tip: Think of "time sensitivity" as the clock factor - anything where being late means losing money or market position (a holiday product launch, beating a competitor to market) belongs here. If the pressure is a calendar, it's time sensitivity.
