Question #: 94
Topic #: 4
[All PMI-PBA Questions]

A project affects the marketing unit and procurement unit. The project manager gives the business analyst an overview of the project for the first time.

What should the business analyst do immediately after the discussion?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The first thing the business analyst should do immediately after the discussion with the project manager is to schedule time with the process owners.The process owners are the people or groups responsible for a specific business process or procedure that is affected by the project5. The business analyst needs to understand the current state of the processes, the pain points and opportunities, the requirements and expectations, and the impact of the project on the processes. By meeting with the process owners, the business analyst can establish a relationship, gather relevant information, and ensure alignment and collaboration. Putting the information into a project plan is premature, as the business analyst needs to conduct more analysis and planning before creating a project plan. Developing an issues log is not necessary, as there are no issues identified at this stage.Assessing the risks for the project is important, but it is not the immediate action, as the business analyst needs to understand the scope and objectives of the project first.Reference: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) Examination Content Outline2, PMI Guide to Business Analysis3, Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide4, What is a Process Owner?Definition & Responsibilities

I'm surprised D isn't the correct answer. Assessing risks should be a top priority for any project manager. Maybe the business analyst can do that while they're talking to the process owners?

A seems like the obvious choice. Unless the business analyst is a mind reader, they'll need to talk to the process owners to get the full picture.

C is a good idea, but it's not the immediate next step. The business analyst should focus on understanding the project first before developing an issues log.

B sounds like a good idea, but I think A is the best choice. You can't put the information into a project plan without first talking to the process owners.
