A communication plan should consider the preferences of the stakeholders, such as how they like to receive information, how often, and in what format. E-mail may not be the best choice for all stakeholders, especially if they prefer face-to-face meetings, phone calls, or other methods of communication. The BA should also consider the impact, urgency, and confidentiality of the information when choosing the communication channel. The business objectives, retention, and presentation materials are not directly related to the stakeholder analysis, but rather to the communication requirements and strategy. References:

 A focus group is a technique that helps to elicit the opinions, preferences, and feedback of a group of stakeholders about a specific topic, such as a prototype of a new web-based application. A focus group is facilitated by a moderator who guides the discussion and encourages the participants to share their views and experiences. A focus group can help the BA to understand the stakeholders’ perception, ideas, and attitudes about the prototypes, and to identify any issues, gaps, or improvements. A decision analysis is a technique that helps to evaluate and compare the possible outcomes of different alternatives using criteria such as costs, benefits, risks, and impacts. A decision analysis can help the BA to select the best solution option, but it does not elicit the stakeholders’ perception, ideas, and attitudes about the prototypes. A prioritization is a technique that helps to rank the requirements or solution options based on their relative importance, urgency, value, or dependency. A prioritization can help the BA to determine the optimal scope and sequence of the solution delivery, but it does not elicit the stakeholders’ perception, ideas, and attitudes about the prototypes. A brainstorming is a technique that helps to generate a large number of ideas or solutions in a short time by encouraging the participants to think creatively and freely. A brainstorming can help the BA to explore different possibilities and perspectives, but it does not elicit the stakeholders’ perception, ideas, and attitudes about the prototypes. References: BABOK Guide v3, Chapter 10: Techniques, Section 10.24: Focus Groups, p. 532-533; Section 10.16: Decision Analysis, p. 518-520; Section 10.38: Prioritization, p. 550-552; Section 10.7: Brainstorming, p. 503-504.

The solution scope definition is a document that describes the features and functions of the solution that will address the business need and deliver the expected benefits. It also defines the boundaries and assumptions of the solution, as well as the criteria for its acceptance and evaluation. The solution scope definition should include the following elements:

Solution vision: A brief statement that summarizes the purpose, value proposition, and target audience of the solution.

Solution objectives: A list of measurable and achievable goals that the solution aims to accomplish, aligned with the business goals and objectives.

Solution requirements: A detailed and specific description of the stakeholder and solution requirements that define the scope and functionality of the solution, organized by categories, types, and priorities.

Solution constraints: A list of factors that limit the options or performance of the solution, such as technical, legal, regulatory, or organizational constraints.

Technical dependencies: A list of relationships or interactions between the solution and other systems, components, or technologies that affect the solution’s design, development, or implementation.

Solution risks: A list of potential threats or uncertainties that may affect the solution’s success, along with their probability, impact, and mitigation strategies.

Solution scope statement: A concise statement that defines what is in and out of scope for the solution, and clarifies any ambiguities or conflicts among the solution requirements.

The solution scope definition does not include the business case (A), which is a separate document that justifies the need for the solution and analyzes its costs and benefits. The solution scope definition also does not include the elicitation techniques ©, which are the methods or tools used to gather information from the stakeholders and discover the requirements. The solution scope definition also does not include the organization readiness assessment (D), which is an analysis of the organization’s ability and willingness to adopt the solution and manage the change.
