Question 15

At what stage of the problem-solving methodology would the specific data requirements for recording attendances be identified?

A. design

B. analysis

C. evaluation

D. development

I said B.
The official answer, I've found out, is A.

But the 2015 study design's description of the PSM clearly said:

"Analysis involves: Determining the solution requirements. What information does the solution have to provide? What data is needed to produce the information?"

I'd say that 'determining what data is needed' is the same as 'identifying specific data requirements', wouldn't you?
