 The solution development team is appearing to change the prioritization of the requirements based on overstated complexity of the project work. This means that they are exaggerating the difficulty and effort involved in implementing a certain portion of the requirements, in order to lower their priority or avoid doing them altogether. This may indicate that the team does not want to implement those requirements for some reason, such as lack of interest, skills, resources, or alignment with the solution vision. This may also result in a loss of trust and collaboration between the business analyst and the solution development team, and a compromise of the quality and value of the solution.

The other options are not correct. A. Changing the prioritization of the requirements based on the past project is not what the solution development team is appearing to do, as they are insisting that this is a different type of requirements than the previous project. C. Getting the requirements removed from the project scope is not what the solution development team is appearing to do, as they are not explicitly asking for that, but rather expressing the difficulty of the requirements. D. Having the business analyst report the difficulty of the project work to the project customer is not what the solution development team is appearing to do, as they are not suggesting that, but rather complaining about the complexity of the project work. References:

 A RACI chart is a graphical representation of roles and responsibilities of different project team members. It is a matrix that shows the relationship between the project activities and the project roles. RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. These are the four levels of involvement that a project team member can have in a project activity. A RACI chart can help to clarify the expectations, avoid confusion, and improve communication among the project team and stakeholders. References:

Ad images are a strong candidate to be addressed while planning for requirements reuse, because they are likely to change frequently and have common elements that can be reused across different weeks. Requirements reuse is a technique that involves identifying, storing, and reusing requirements or requirement components for future projects or initiatives. It can help to reduce duplication, improve consistency, and save time and effort. Ad images can benefit from requirements reuse, because they can use a standard template, format, and style, and only change the specific image and text for each new topping. Dough preparation, toppings preparation, and topping recipes are not good candidates for requirements reuse, because they are either stable or unique for each week. References:

A responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) chart is a type of chart that shows the correlation between project team members and the work they’ve been assigned to complete. A RAM chart is a matrix that maps the project activities or deliverables to the project roles or resources. A RAM chart helps to define and clarify the roles and responsibilities of the project team members, as well as to identify the gaps, overlaps, or conflicts in the work assignments. A RAM chart is also known as a linear responsibility chart (LRC) or a resource allocation matrix (RAC). A RACI chart is a specific type of RAM chart that uses the RACI notation to indicate the level of involvement of each team member in each activity or deliverable. References: CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, chapter 6, page 237; CBAP Sample Questions, question 239.
