PMI Project Management Professional Practice Question

Prototyping is a powerful tool in the Collect Requirements process because it provides stakeholders with a tangible, interactive model of the product early in the project. This allows them to experiment, iterate, and offer feedback, which can be incorporated into the prototype in successive revisions. It helps in molding and refining the requirements in a way that abstract discussion often cannot, leading to a more precise and agreed-upon set of requirements. Other options were incorrect because prototyping does not generally lead to immediate product development finalization, is not primarily quantitative risk analysis, nor does it replace the necessity for a Requirements Traceability Matrix.
