Ans is C. Pg 155. The value of a solution might vary depending on how requirements are implemented and when the solution becomes available to stakeholders. The objective of allocation is to maximize that value.

Selected Answer: C
Timing of the release and its impact on business is correct. As per BABOK v3 7.5.4.3, the value of a solution might vary depending on how requirements are implemented and when the solution becomes available to stakeholders. The objective of allocation is to maximize that value. The "when solution becomes available" represents the timing of release and "how requirements are implemented" represents the impact on business value.

changed my mind - correct answer is C. There is no specific reference to whether the scope has been defined or not... therefore the most suitable answer is C. The BA can maximize the overall value of the solution by aligning requirements with the bss goals and objectives for each release.

Selected Answer: D
If there's no predefined scope for each release, then considering the components in scope for that release (Option D) becomes a more significant factor in the requirements allocation process. In such a scenario, the BA would need to assess which requirements and components can feasibly be included in each release based on factors like available resources, technical dependencies, and project timelines. By focusing on the components in scope for each release, the BA ensures that the allocated requirements align with the immediate goals and objectives of that particular release. Therefore, in the absence of a predefined scope for each release, Option D becomes a more appropriate consideration for maximizing the value of the solution through effective requirements allocation.

should be C. if you read the question carefully 'BA is in the process of allocating requirements to various releases of a solution' - this means no scope for each release yet.

Should be D Requirements allocation is the process of assigning requirements to solution components and releases to best achieve the objectives. Then, components should be in release to be allocated

I change my mind. BABOK 7.5.4.3. Requirement may be allocated between organizational unit, job function, solution components, or releases of a solution.

Confuse on the question, what's asking for? From 7.5.3 Requirements allocation is the process of assigning requirements to solution components and releases to best achieve the objectives. Allocation is supported Define Design Options by assessing the trade-offs between alternatives in order to maximize benefits and minimize costs. The value of a solution might vary depending on how requirements are implemented and when the solution becomes available to stakeholders. The objective of allocation is to maximize that value.
