A modeling tool integrated into a version control feature that ensures that team knowledge is captured is a tool that should be used to improve the communication of product needs with the stakeholders and to improve their understanding. A modeling tool is a tool that allows the business analyst to create visual representations of the product needs, such as diagrams, charts, graphs, or mockups. These models can help the stakeholders to comprehend and verify the requirements more easily than textual descriptions. A version control feature is a tool that allows the business analyst to track and manage changes to the models and ensure that they are consistent and accurate. A version control feature also enables collaboration and knowledge sharing among the team members and stakeholders. A requirements management tool that documents requirements and their properties and relationships is not a tool that should be used to improve the communication of product needs with the stakeholders and to improve their understanding, as it does not provide visual or graphical representations of the product needs. A document management system and a relationship matrix that groups all related documents is not a tool that should be used to improve the communication of product needs with the stakeholders and to improve their understanding, as it does not create or display models of the product needs. A workflow management tool that documents the flow of information is not a tool that should be used to improve the communication of product needs with the stakeholders and to improve their understanding, as it only focuses on one aspect of the product needs and does not capture other dimensions such as functionality, quality, or value. References: Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide 1, page 77-78; PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline 2, page 16.

 A capability table is a tool that lists the current capabilities of an application and compares them with the desired capabilities identified by the end users. A capability table can help the business analyst to analyze this information and determine project scope by showing the gaps between the current and future states of the application, and prioritizing the new features that will address those gaps. A capability table can also help to define the high-level requirements and objectives of the project. References: = PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline (2019), page 11; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide (2015), page 67.

A review is a technique that involves examining a work product, such as requirements, to identify errors, omissions, inconsistencies, or ambiguities. A review can be formal or informal, depending on the level of rigor and documentation required. A review can be conducted by the business analyst alone or with other stakeholders, such as the project manager, the sponsor, the subject matter experts, or the end users. A review can be done through various methods, such as reading, walkthroughs, inspections, or peer reviews. The purpose of a review is to ensure that the requirements are clear, complete, correct, and consistent, and that they meet the quality standards and expectations of the stakeholders. By conducting a review, the business analyst can obtain approval from the stakeholders and confirm their agreement and commitment to the requirements. References: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline1, page 23; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide2, page 131.

 Plurality is the decision role that was used by the project team to decide which requirements will be included in the next release. Plurality means that the option with the most votes is selected, even if it does not have a majority (more than 50%) of the votes. Plurality is a decision role that can be used when there are more than two options and a quick decision is needed. References: PMI Guide to Business Analysis, Chapter 4, Section 4.3.2.4; PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline, Domain II: Planning, Task 3.
