I am a Senior BA, sometimes we do things so automatically that we forgot the basic concepts, recently I accepted an interview for another company that I didn't pass since they asked these kind of questions, conceptual terms and activities, they expected a definition like in a certification exam, which makes sense, it was very helpful to remember and see that in my current project we don't apply these by the book, we adapted these concepts to the project needs. Great summary of a BA education. Thanks!

[@maflemi]

Good stuff @ThePrefectBA. I'm more familiar with the "W" in MoSCoW standing for "Won't" (also stated this way in IIBA's BABOK) instead of "Would". The questions target junior BA roles, but worthwhile and triggers thoughts on extended questions for Senior / Lead BAs. Some of the other questions I get asked are around "How do you deal with quiet vs dominating workshop participants?" - a few useful techniques available via a quick Google for them. Thanks for loading. Thumbs up from me.

[@erabhikdasgupta]

Pmbok states it to be will have. This is so that not to hurt any sentiments of people who would give you those requirements. But deep down the PO will know that it's in least of priority or won't be ever built.
