Exam CBAP Topic 3 Question 160 Discussion

Explanation
Risk Analysis and Management is a technique that involves identifying, assessing, and treating the uncertainties and potential negative impacts that may affect the solution or the stakeholders. Risk Analysis and Management will enable the BA to record and handle the threats in the solution on an ongoing basis, because it can help the BA to quantify and prioritize the risks, determine the appropriate responses and mitigation strategies, and monitor and control the risk exposure and outcomes. Risk Analysis and Management can also help the BA to communicate and report the risk status and issues to the stakeholders and the organization, and to ensure that the solution delivers the expected value and benefits. Root Cause Analysis, Solution Performance Analysis, or Solution Scope are not the best options for recording and handling the threats in the solution on an ongoing basis, because they are either too specific, too general, or not directly related to the risk management process.
