According to the BABOK® Guide, business analysis planning and monitoring is the task of determining which activities are necessary in order to identify and define the solution that meets the business need, allocate the resources to perform those activities, monitor the performance of the analysis work, and adjust the plan as needed. One of the inputs to this task is the organizational process assets, which include the organizational standards, policies, and procedures for business analysis. If these assets are not available, the business analyst should work with the appropriate stakeholders to determine how the business analysis work should be completed, rather than creating or imposing a standard on their own. References: BABOK® Guide, section 3.1.1, page 30; Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, section “CCBA Competencies”, page 1.

The stakeholder register is the key output of the Identify Stakeholders process. It not only contains the names of the project stakeholders but also their goals, expectations, concerns, and other such details. The stakeholder register helps to plan, manage, and communicate with the stakeholders effectively and efficiently. The other options are not outputs of the Identify Stakeholders process, but inputs or outputs of other processes. The scope baseline, the project charter, and the project scope statement are all inputs or outputs of the Project Scope Management knowledge area, not the Project Stakeholder Management knowledge area. References:

The inputs to the business analysis approach are the organizational process assets (A), which are the policies, procedures, standards, guidelines, templates, and tools that are used by the organization to conduct business analysis work, the enterprise environmental factors ©, which are the internal and external conditions that affect the organization and the business analysis work, and the business need (D), which is the problem or opportunity that the organization seeks to address. References: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, Certification of Capability in Business Analysis™ (CCBA®), Business Analysis Certification Competencies, CCBA® | IIBA®, The Ultimate Guide to Business Capability Analysis, A GUIDE TO THE BUSINESS ANALYSIS BODY OF KNOWLEDGE

It shows the concepts, attributes, and relationships that define the data and how they are organized and manipulated. Data modeling helps to organize requirements by providing a common understanding of the data and its structure, quality, and usage.
