A business analyst (BA) finds conflicting requirements gathered from several stakeholders.

Reviews and workshops are effective techniques for validating and negotiating requirements with stakeholders. They can help the BA to identify and resolve any conflicting or contradictory requirements, as well as to gain consensus and agreement among the stakeholders. Reviews can be done in various forms, such as walkthroughs, inspections, or peer reviews. Workshops can be used to facilitate collaborative discussions, brainstorming, and decision making among the stakeholders. Both techniques can help the BA to safeguard against conflicting requirements by ensuring that the requirements are clear, accurate, complete, and aligned with the business goals and needs123. References:
