A business analyst has documented a set of requirements for a new online payment system. During a review session, the compliance officer points out that one requirement conflicts with a regulatory standard, and the operations manager notes that another requirement is ambiguous. The analyst needs to ensure the requirements are ready for implementation. What should the analyst do first?

Proceed with the requirements as-is and note the issues in the meeting minutes for future reference

Resolve the conflict with the compliance officer and clarify the ambiguous requirement with the operations manager before finalizing

Update the requirements document to reflect the compliance issue and the ambiguity, then send it to the development team

Ask the project sponsor to decide on the conflict and ambiguity without further stakeholder input

What should a business analyst document after obtaining requirements approval?

The personal opinions of each stakeholder

The detailed technical design of the solution

The project's risk response plan

The decisions made and the sign-off from stakeholders

During requirements analysis, what should a business analyst do when two stakeholders provide conflicting requirements for the same feature?

Remove the requirement from the scope

Ignore the conflict and include both requirements as-is

Automatically choose the requirement from the higher-ranking stakeholder

Resolve the conflict by facilitating discussion and reaching a consensus

Which practice supports collaboration with stakeholders during Task 7?
