Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Strategic BA work focuses on aligning projects and investments to business goals and identifying opportunities; tactical BA work focuses on defining and managing requirements for specific projects
Explanation
Strategic BA work includes enterprise analysis — identifying business opportunities, defining portfolio priorities, and aligning initiatives to strategy. Tactical BA work focuses on project-level requirements analysis and delivery support.
**Why not A:** This reverses the relationship. Strategic BA work is business-focused (aligning to goals, identifying opportunities), while tactical BA work may involve more hands-on technical requirements analysis. Neither is exclusively technical or business-focused.
**Why not C:** The distinction between strategic and tactical BA work is about scope and focus, not seniority level. While senior BAs may more commonly perform strategic work, the classification is about the nature of the work itself, not who performs it.
**Why not D:** This incorrectly assigns specific artifacts to each category. User stories are a tactical requirements artifact, not a strategic one. Strategic BA work involves enterprise analysis and portfolio alignment, not writing individual user stories or preparing presentations.
