Henry was recently hired as a business analyst on a small digital transformation project. The project has already begun and the solution scope agreed upon. Approximately 100 requirements have been elicited, however the former business analyst did not record the requirements adequately so Henry has found requirements in emails, various Word documents and 2 separate spreadsheets. Henry has collected all of the requirements together and recorded them in a single spreadsheet with all of the necessary attributes (as documented in the project’s BA plan).

Jan is a business analyst who works for the Goldcrest Company. She has been working on a package of requirements for a new billing system. The requirements have been validated and verified and are now ready to be approved. Members of the Finance department have reviewed and are in agreement with the requirements as stated.

Enid is a junior business analyst on a complex project involving the implementation of a web-based HR system. She has gathered requirements from HR, Finance, the COO and the union members. These stakeholders were very pleased with how she conducted the requirements workshop because they felt that they were finally being heard after 5 years of status quo. Her elicitation results were in the form of various spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. Given the complexity and time constraints of the project, Enid handed over these elicitation results to the implementation team so they could get started on building the solution. The development team lead reviewed the requirements (which were in very loose and rough shape) to make sense of the scope of what was being requested. Given the project time constraints, the development team lead went back to Enid and suggested that she work with the stakeholders to prioritize the requirements because much of it likely could not be met within the timelines. In addition, because the requirements were so loosely written, the development team lead, suggested Enid to focus on the requirements that were well-written, well-understood and agreed-upon by all stakeholder and had a low risk of changing. What prioritization factor is being suggested?
