A business analyst is assigned to a project that involves multiple cross-functional teams, including development, quality assurance, and design. During the requirements gathering phase, the business analyst notices that each team has a different interpretation of one of the key requirements. What should the business analyst do to address this situation?
Assign the communication responsibility to the project manager.
Proceed with the most popular interpretation among the teams.
Revise the requirement document according to their own understanding to clarify the requirement.
Facilitate a meeting with all teams to clarify and reach a common understanding of the requirement.
Facilitating a meeting with all teams to clarify and reach a common understanding of the requirement fosters effective communication. This approach ensures that all stakeholders are aligned, prevents misunderstandings, and promotes collaboration. Revising the requirement document according to their own understanding might not resolve the differing interpretations and could lead to further confusion. Assigning the communication responsibility to the project manager shifts responsibility away from the business analyst, whose role includes stakeholder engagement and communication regarding requirements. Proceeding with the most popular interpretation ignores the perspectives of other teams and could result in issues later in the project.
