A business analyst has started a project for a system enhancement.

The requirements approval process is documented as a measure of effective decision making that allows the business analyst to finalize the process for requirement approval. The requirements approval process defines the roles, responsibilities, criteria, methods, and tools for approving the requirements and ensuring that they meet the stakeholder needs and expectations. The requirements approval process should be agreed upon by the stakeholders and the business analyst before the requirements are elicited, analyzed, and validated. The requirements verification process is not a measure of effective decision making, but a technique for ensuring that the requirements are complete, correct, consistent, and clear. The requirements elicitation process is not a measure of effective decision making, but a set of activities for discovering, gathering, and understanding the stakeholder needs and expectations. The requirements validation process is not a measure of effective decision making, but a technique for confirming that the requirements align with the business objectives and deliver value to the stakeholders. References: Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide, page 113-114 1; PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline, page 17 2.
