CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of business analysis (BA) roles and responsibilities

BA planning determines: what analysis work needs to be done, which elicitation techniques to use, which stakeholders to engage, when BA activities will occur, and how requirements will be managed. It's tailored to the specific project's methodology, complexity, and risk level.

**Why not B:** The BA's personal career development plan is an individual professional growth document, not business analysis planning. BA planning focuses on how analysis activities will be performed on the project, including techniques, stakeholder engagement, and requirements management approaches.

**Why not C:** Distributing BA responsibilities across the project team is one element that might be addressed within BA planning, but it is not the definition of BA planning itself. BA planning encompasses the full scope of determining techniques, timing, stakeholder engagement, and management approaches for all analysis work.

**Why not D:** Listing all requirements before analysis begins is impossible and contradicts the purpose of BA planning. BA planning determines how requirements will be discovered and managed, not what the requirements are. Requirements emerge through the planned elicitation and analysis activities.
