Hi all. I've had several good people write to suggest that the answer to Q16 should be B instead of A because of what the study design says about requirements and scope.<div><br></div><div>While B parrots the words of the study design (inappropriately, IMO, since it's using the <b>present</b> tense to describe a <b>future</b> product, which is confusing) option A, to my way of thinking, better describes the answer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It all depends on the difference between solutions requirements and scope... the study design insists they are two separate things but does not explain how they are functionally different.</div><div><br>
</div><div>We had this discussion before the exam: what is the difference between specifying solution requirements and specifying scope? We never got a good answer to that one, and the exam question is leveraging that exact point of confusion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So I'll throw it up in the air again: if you fully specify solution requirements, how is that different to specifying scope? Are they not effectively identical? In which case both options A and B are correct.<br clear="all">
