The basis on which the requirements should be prioritized in this context is benefit. This means that the requirements should be ranked or ordered based on their value or impact for the stakeholders or the organization. The benefit of a requirement can be measured or estimated by various criteria such as return on investment, customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, etc.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Option B is incorrect because cost is not the basis on which the requirements should be prioritized in this context, but a factor that should be considered in prioritizing the requirements. Cost is the amount of money or resources required to implement or maintain a requirement. Cost can affect the feasibility or viability of a requirement.
• Option C is incorrect because risk is not the basis on which the requirements should be prioritized in this context, but a factor that should be considered in prioritizing the requirements. Risk is the uncertainty or possibility of a negative or positive outcome or event that may affect a requirement. Risk can affect the urgency or importance of a requirement.
• Option D is incorrect because penalty is not the basis on which the requirements should be prioritized in this context, but a factor that should be considered in prioritizing the requirements. Penalty is the consequence or loss that may occur if a requirement is not met or delivered. Penalty can affect the necessity or desirability of a requirement.

 The BA must identify the required cultural changes to address the concerns of the CEO about the impact to the staff once the strategy has been implemented. This is because cultural changes are changes that affect the values, beliefs, behaviors, or norms of an organization or a group of people. Identifying the required cultural changes can help the BA to assess how the new system will affect the staff and what actions are needed to facilitate their adoption and acceptance of the change. The other options are not as effective or relevant as identifying the required cultural changes. References:

The first activity that the BA should perform to understand the effect of the proposed change is to determine whether the additional requirement is traceable to a need. This will help to assess the value and relevance of the requirement, and whether it aligns with the project scope and objectives. Determining stakeholder availability, consulting with the technical team, and checking with the project manager are possible subsequent activities, but not the first one. References: BABOK Guide v3, page 160; CCBA Mock Test, question 12
