CAPM Practice: Determine how project methodologies influence business analysis processes

Adaptive approaches rely on continuous customer feedback — if customers can't participate regularly in sprint reviews and feedback sessions, agile's feedback loop advantages are diminished. Limited customer access may justify more upfront requirements investment to build the best possible understanding before limited feedback opportunities.

**Why not B:** Customer availability varies significantly across projects and organizations, and methodologies have different expectations for stakeholder engagement frequency. Claiming equal availability across all methodologies ignores practical constraints and the fundamental differences in how predictive and adaptive approaches structure customer involvement.

**Why not C:** Customer availability is one of the key factors influencing BA approach selection. Adaptive methods rely on frequent feedback loops that require regular customer access, while predictive methods front-load requirements gathering. Ignoring this factor leads to choosing an approach mismatched with the project's stakeholder engagement realities.

**Why not D:** This reverses the actual relationship. Adaptive approaches require more frequent and sustained customer involvement through iterative feedback, sprint reviews, and continuous collaboration. Predictive approaches, while requiring intensive upfront engagement, typically need less ongoing customer interaction during execution phases.
