Whenever a business analyst hosts event-based elicitation, ground rules should always be established. Ground rules help organize how the elicitation will take, how feedback should be offered, and how identified requirements will be verified. Answer: C is incorrect. Robert will need to communicate the business opportunity before the workshop so the group understands the purpose of the workshop. Answer: B is incorrect. While stakeholders may have different rankings in the organization the understanding of which stakeholders are most important is not relevant to the meeting running smoothly. Answer: D is incorrect.
