1/5 · Management Practices for Requirements
Using the MoSCoW prioritization technique, a project team labels a requirement as 'Could have'. What does this classification mean?
AIt is explicitly out of scope for the current release and will not be implemented under any circumstances
BIt is an important requirement that should be included if at all possible, though the project could still succeed without it in the worst case
CIt is a mandatory requirement without which the resulting system would not be acceptable
DIt is a low-priority, desirable feature that should be included only if time and resources permit, but the project remains viable without it

4/5 · Management Practices for Requirements · hard
A customer requests a significant change to a requirement that has already been baselined. According to established requirements change management practice, what should happen before the requirement is actually modified in the specification?
AThe original requirement should be deleted immediately so that no conflicting versions exist in the repository
BThe change should be recorded only as a new, unrelated requirement, leaving the original baselined requirement completely untouched regardless of its actual scope
CThe developer should apply the change directly in the code as soon as it is technically feasible and update the requirement document later if time permits
DThe change request should undergo impact analysis and be formally evaluated and approved by an authorized decision body (e.g., a change control board) before the baseline is updated
Show answer & explanation
5/5 · Management Practices for Requirements
Mid-project, a stakeholder submits a request to modify a requirement that has already been agreed upon and included in the current baseline. Following the change-management approach described in the syllabus, what should happen before a decision is made on whether to accept this change request?
AThe impact of the proposed change (e.g., effects on cost, schedule, risk and other related requirements) should first be analyzed and documented to inform the decision.
BThe entire elicitation phase should be restarted so that all stakeholder needs are recollected from scratch before considering the single change.
CThe change request should be rejected automatically, because requirements that are part of an agreed baseline can no longer be altered.
DThe requirement should be updated immediately in the specification so that no working time is lost while the request is pending.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. Change management as described in the syllabus involves systematically capturing, analyzing the impact of, deciding on, and then implementing/communicating changes to requirements. Impact analysis precedes the decision so that cost, schedule, risk and knock-on effects on other requirements are understood before an agreed requirement is altered.
