This step is necessary because the BA's research identified two issues: the developers lacked a sense of the work in progress and the intended goal, and the QA team was unable to clearly test the functionality based on a given persona. By reviewing the user stories, the BA can ensure that they are clear, concise, and focused, making it easier for the developers to understand and work on them, and for the QA team to test them effectively. This will help address the issues that led to the failure in meeting the deployment date.
