Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Conducting stakeholder analysis
Business analysis planning activities involve identifying stakeholders and determining how to elicit requirements. Conducting stakeholder analysis (D) is a planning activity to understand who will be impacted and their involvement. Selecting elicitation techniques (E) is also planning as it defines how requirements will be gathered. Option A (conducting interviews) is part of elicitation execution, not planning. Option B (developing wireframes) is solution design. Option C (defining project success criteria) is typically part of project management or scope definition, not specifically business analysis planning.
