Which element closely describes a business analyst (BA) continually tracking risks for delayed approvals?

Question

Options

• AMonitor stakeholder engagement
• BGuide elicitation activity
• CCommunicate business analysis package
• DCollaborate assigned tasks

• A
  92% (24)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Monitoring stakeholder engagement (A) is correct because tracking risks related to delayed approvals is fundamentally about watching how stakeholders are participating - or failing to participate - in the BA process. When approvals are delayed, the BA must continuously observe, assess, and respond to stakeholder behavior and involvement, which is exactly what "monitoring stakeholder engagement" means.

B (Guide elicitation activity) is wrong because elicitation is about gathering requirements from stakeholders, not tracking risks around their responsiveness or approval timelines.

C (Communicate business analysis package) is wrong because this refers to distributing deliverables and documentation to stakeholders, not monitoring whether those stakeholders are engaging on schedule.

D (Collaborate assigned tasks) is wrong because collaboration is about working jointly on tasks, not proactively identifying and tracking risks tied to stakeholder inaction.

Memory tip: Think "TRACK = Monitor." When a BA is watching for problems (like late approvals), they are monitoring - and delayed approvals signal a stakeholder engagement risk. If the question involves observing stakeholder behavior over time, the answer will almost always point to Monitor Stakeholder Engagement.
