Which of the following statement is NOT correct about the requirements life cycle management?

Question

Options

• ARequirements life cycle begins with the representation of a business need as a requirement.
• BRequirements life cycle ends when a solution is fully developed and implemented.
• CRequirements life cycle ends when a solution and the requirements that represent it are retired.
• DNone of the above.

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  89% (24)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option B is incorrect because the requirements life cycle does not end at implementation - it extends through the entire operational lifespan of the solution, concluding only when both the solution and its associated requirements are retired (as stated in BABOK). Option A is correct: the life cycle does begin when a business need is formally captured as a requirement. Option C is also correct and directly contradicts B, confirming that retirement - not implementation - marks the true end of the cycle. Option D ("None of the above") is wrong because B is indeed an incorrect statement.

Memory tip: Think of requirements like a product warranty - it doesn't expire the moment the product ships; it remains active for as long as the product is in use, and only closes out when the product is decommissioned.
