BABOK v2 pg 101 Challenges in facilitating a requirements prioritization session include: Unrealistic Tradeoffs: The solution development team may intentionally or unintentionally try to influence the result of the prioritization process by overestimating the difficulty or complexity of implementing certain requirements.

It says Implementation team DOES NOT WANT to implement. Which means they want the requirements removed. It doesnt say implementation is postponing/ delaying implementation So answer is C

The solution development team appears to be overstating the complexity of the requirements to influence their prioritization or possibly to reduce their workload. By emphasizing difficulty, they may be attempting to delay, lower the priority of, or even avoid implementing those requirements. This behavior can be a tactic to manage workload, avoid challenging tasks, or shift focus to easier requirements.

B. Change the prioritization of the requirements based on overstated complexity of the project work. In this scenario, the solution development team appears to be emphasizing the difficulty and complexity of the current requirements, which may be a way to change the prioritization of those requirements based on their perceived challenges​.

The correct answer is B. In this scenario, the development team is likely exaggerating the complexity of the requirements in an attempt to influence the prioritization. By overstating the difficulty, the team may aim to deprioritize or delay working on those requirements, possibly to avoid or reduce the effort involved. This tactic could result in changes to how the requirements are handled, even if the actual complexity is manageable, as Mark suspects. Option C (getting the requirements removed) could be a potential long-term goal, but in this context, the immediate action seems to be altering the prioritization rather than outright removal.

For me it s C option because the dev team express that it is complex to implement and they didn't mention that it will be better to postpone the implementation to another time

I would go with C. 2nd sentence said that team doesn't want to implement the requirements.

Prioritisation of requirements is used to minimise risk during development so that the most important or high risk requirements are implemented first

Can any one explain why B not C?
