Question 1

An auto claim is owned by Adjuster1. The Customer Service Representative (CSR) that created the claim owns one follow-up activity on the claim. An Injury Specialist owns an injury exposure on the claim. All these persons are members of Auto Team 1.

The Team Lead determines that Adjuster1 is overworked and reassigns the claim to Adjuster2, a member of Auto Team 2.

Which three people now have access to the claim? (Choose three.)

ASpecial Investigations Unit

BAdjuster1

CCSR

DInjury Specialist

EAdjuster2

FThe Claimant

Answer : C, D, E

250 to 350 words From Exact Extract of Guidewire ClaimCenter Business Analyst documentation:

In Guidewire ClaimCenter, access to a claim file is determined by Access Control Lists (ACLs), which are dynamically updated based on user roles and ownership. A user is granted access to a claim if they own the claim itself, or if they own a sub-object within that claim, such as an Activity or an Exposure.

Adjuster2 (Option E): Upon reassignment, Adjuster2 becomes the new Claim Owner. The owner of the claim record always has full view and edit access to the claim.

CSR (Option C): The CSR retains ownership of a specific Activity (the follow-up task). In the ClaimCenter security model, owning an open activity on a claim grants the user 'view' access to the parent claim so they can perform the necessary work to complete their task. Reassigning the claim header does not automatically reassign the activities owned by other users.

Injury Specialist (Option D): This user owns an Exposure (a distinct financial sub-record for a specific coverage feature). Similar to activities, owning an exposure grants access to the parent claim. The reassignment of the main claim file from Adjuster1 to Adjuster2 does not strip the Injury Specialist of their ownership of the specific injury exposure.

Why Adjuster1 loses access: Adjuster1 was the previous owner. Once ownership is transferred to Adjuster2 (who is in a different group, 'Auto Team 2'), Adjuster1 no longer meets the criteria for ownership access. Unless Adjuster1 is explicitly added to the ACL manually or has 'Super User' privileges (not stated), they lose the automatic access rights associated with being the owner.

Question 2

Which scenario shows a Business Analyst (BA) demonstrating an important way to use Guidewire's Business Process Flows during a product implementation?

AWe will use our Business Process Flow for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) to guide the development of custom configuration instead of Guidewire's Process for Flow FNOL because we would like to continue using our current process.

BWe will be leveraging base configuration, so we will reference Guidewire's Business Process Flow for assignments to make changes to our business process for claim assignment.

CWe will compare our Business Process Flow for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) to Guidewire's Business Process Flow for Reserve entry to identify whether process gaps exist.

DWe will not reference Guidewire Business Process Flows because we do not have the process flows for our current process documented to compare it.

Answer : B

One of the primary value drivers of a Guidewire implementation is the 'Adopt' or 'Fit-to-Standard' approach, which encourages insurers to align their operations with industry best practices embedded in the software.

Best Practice (Option B): The most effective use of Guidewire's standard Business Process Flows is to use them as a reference to change the customer's internal processes. Instead of customizing the software to match a legacy (and potentially inefficient) way of doing things, the BA uses the base product flow to demonstrate how the system works out-of-the-box and guides the business to adapt their assignment logic to match this standard. This reduces customization costs and simplifies future upgrades.

Why Option A is incorrect: This describes the 'Gap' approach where the software is heavily customized to fit the old process ('continue using our current process'). This is considered an anti-pattern in modern implementations as it increases technical debt.

Why Option C is incorrect: Comparing FNOL (intake) to Reserves (financials) is comparing two completely different lifecycle stages, making the gap analysis invalid.

Why Option D is incorrect: Lack of documentation is not a valid reason to ignore the standard flows; in fact, the standard flows can serve as the new documentation for the undocumented process.

Based on the Guidewire ClaimCenter Business Analyst documentation and the provided exhibits, here is the verified answer for Question 42.

Question 3

Drivers for Rideshare companies need insurance that provides protection when they are driving the vehicle for personal reasons. This will be the Succeed Insurance standard Personal Auto Policy. However, they also need insurance to protect them from the increased risks associated with working as a Rideshare Driver. This would include when they are logged in to the Rideshare application waiting for a customer match, on their way to pick up a customer, but not when a customer has entered the vehicle.

When a driver is working as a Rideshare Driver, this new Rideshare coverage will protect them from the following types of risks, and there is a need to be able to collect the appropriate information about the losses:

. Injury to a first-party driver

. Damaged personal property of the third-party passengers

Which two exposures need to be configured? (Choose two.)

ARideshare Liability Personal Injury Protection

BRideshare Personal Property Protection

CRideshare Medical Payments

DRideshare Liability Under Insured Motorist

ERideshare Liability Bodily Injury

Answer : B, C

250 to 350 words From Exact Extract of Guidewire ClaimCenter Business Analyst documentation:

To satisfy the requirements for the new 'Rideshare' coverage product, the Business Analyst must map the described risks to the correct Exposure Types in the ClaimCenter data model.

Risk: Injury to a first-party driver: In insurance terminology, 'First Party' refers to the insured (the driver). Coverage for injuries sustained by the driver themselves is typically handled by Medical Payments (MedPay) or Personal Injury Protection (PIP). Among the choices provided, Rideshare Medical Payments (Option C) is the correct exposure type to cover medical costs for the driver regardless of fault. (Option E, Liability Bodily Injury, would cover injuries to others that the driver hit).

Risk: Damaged personal property of third-party passengers: This refers to liability for damage to property belonging to others. While typically 'Property Damage Liability,' the specific option provided that fits this description is Rideshare Personal Property Protection (Option B). This exposure would be configured to capture details about the damaged items (e.g., luggage, electronics) belonging to the passengers.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option E (Liability Bodily Injury): This is for Third Party injuries (e.g., pedestrians or people in other cars), not the First Party driver.

Option D (Under Insured Motorist): This applies when the Rideshare driver is hit by someone else who doesn't have enough insurance. The prompt focuses on the risks of the driver working, not the financial failure of others.

Question 4

Why are unique requirement numbers so important for business analysis?

ARequirement numbers are not absolutely necessary but they make it easier to trace changes that occur.

BRequirement numbers are specific to the document control portion of the Story Card and allow the analyst to trace who did what and when.

CRequirement numbers are useful for technical support and allow customers to track back on root causes for a support ticket.

DRequirement numbers organize requirements with a unique ID and provide a standardized order for insertion of new requirements.

Answer : C

Traceability is the primary driver for assigning unique identification numbers to every business requirement.

Root Cause Analysis (Option C): Throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), a requirement flows from the Business Analyst (User Story) to the Developer (Code) and the Tester (Test Case). When a defect is found in production (a support ticket), the unique requirement number allows the team to trace the issue backward. They can determine if the defect was caused by a coding error (Requirement was right, code was wrong) or a requirements gap (Code met the requirement, but the requirement was wrong). This link 'back to the root cause' is critical for quality assurance and continuous improvement.

Why other options are incorrect:

A: Unique IDs are considered absolutely necessary in formal agile methodologies (like the one used by Guidewire) for traceability matrices.

B: Document control tracks the file history, not the granular requirement history.

D: While IDs do organize data, their function in 'standardized order for insertion' is administrative and secondary to the strategic value of traceability described in Option C.

Question 5

To help manage new user setup, Succeed Insurance would like all manager-level employees to be able to add new users to ClaimCenter. Some managers are already assigned the Community Admin role, which has a set of permissions for the administration of the ClaimCenter community model that includes the permission to create new users.

Where are two places the Business Analyst (BA) can go to view the permissions assigned to manager-level users? (Choose two.)

AGo to c:\GW10\ClaimCenter\build\dictionary\data\index.html to view the Data Dictionary

BGo to c:\GW10\ClaimCenter\build\dictionary\security\index.html to view the Security Dictionary

CGo to the Administration menu > Users & Security > Users

DGo to the Administration menu > Users & Security > Authority Limits

EGo to the Administration menu > Users & Security > Roles

Answer : B, E

To view the detailed System Permissions (such as usercreate, claimview, etc.) associated with a specific user role (like 'Manager' or 'Community Admin'), a Business Analyst has two primary methods: one within the application UI and one via generated documentation.

Administration Menu > Users & Security > Roles (Option E): This is the direct User Interface method. By navigating to the Roles page in the Administration tab, the BA can select a specific role (e.g., 'Manager'). The detailed view of that role lists every system permission currently granted to it. This allows the BA to verify if the 'usercreate' permission is present.

Security Dictionary (Option B): For a comprehensive, searchable, and offline reference, the BA can access the Security Dictionary. This is a set of HTML files generated from the application's configuration (found in the build directory). It provides a complete matrix of all Roles, the Permissions assigned to them, and the Access Profiles configured in the system.

Why other options are incorrect:

Data Dictionary (A): This documents the Data Model (Entities and Typelists), not the security configuration.

Users (C): While this screen lists users and their assigned roles, it does not display the definitions (the specific list of permissions) of those roles.

Authority Limits (D): This screen manages Financial limits (dollar amounts for reserves/payments), not system access permissions.

Question 6

An Adjuster at Succeed Insurance creates a check with a partial payment of $1,200 for medical expenses payable to a claimant who was injured in a collision. The check has completed the following processing steps:

. The payment exceeded the Adjuster's authority limits, changing the status to Pending Approval.

. The Adjuster's supervisor reviewed and approved the payment, changing the status to Awaiting Submission.

. A batch process sent the check to the external check processing system, changing the status to Requested when ClaimCenter received an update from the external system.

The Adjuster received new information indicating that the check amount should be reduced to $950.

Which action should the Adjuster take?

AEdit the check and change the amount, then submit it for processing.

BAsk the bank to hold the check and create a new check for the correct amount.

CStop the check and create a new check for the correct amount.

DVoid the check and create a new check for the correct amount.

Answer : D

250 to 350 words From Exact Extract of Guidewire ClaimCenter Business Analyst documentation:

In the lifecycle of a check within Guidewire ClaimCenter, the Requested status indicates that the payment instruction has been successfully handed off to the downstream check writing or electronic funds transfer system. Once a check reaches this status, it is considered a committed financial transaction and is locked from further editing.

Why Option A is incorrect: You cannot edit a check that is in 'Requested' status. The 'Edit' button will likely be disabled or the fields locked because the data has already left the system.

Why Option C is incorrect: A 'Stop' payment is typically reserved for scenarios where a physical check has been lost, stolen, or destroyed after it was printed and mailed. While a Stop Payment does prevent the check from being cashed, it is a specific banking process often involving fees.

Why Option D is Correct: To correct an administrative error (such as the wrong amount) for a check that has been processed but not yet negotiated (cashed), the standard procedure is to Void the check. Voiding the check in ClaimCenter performs two critical functions:

It reverses the financial T-accounts (reserves and payments) associated with the transaction, ensuring the claim financials are accurate.

It updates the status to 'Voided,' effectively cancelling the payment in the system.

After voiding the incorrect check ($1,200), the Adjuster must then create a new check for the correct amount ($950) to pay the claimant.

Question 7

Succeed Insurance allows field Adjusters to write checks directly to the insured to cover damage costs for minor claims such as:

Personal auto claims involving cracked windshields

Homeowners claims involving minor glass breakage

The Adjuster uses the Manual Check Wizard to record the check number and amount against a reserve line. Succeed requires Supervisor approval for all manual checks to ensure that the paper checks are verified against the payment information in ClaimCenter.

Which two limits or rules must be configured in ClaimCenter to ensure that these manual payments are sent to the correct person for approval? (Choose two.)

AApproval routing rules

BTransactionSet validation rules

CTransaction approval rules

DAuthority limits

Answer : C, D

To enforce an approval workflow for a specific type of financial transaction (like 'Manual Checks') regardless of the dollar amount, a Business Analyst must leverage both Authority Limits and Transaction Approval Rules.

Authority Limits (D): These are the primary controls for financial exposure. While typically used for amounts (e.g., 'Limit of $5,000'), they are the foundational mechanism that triggers the system's 'Pending Approval' state. For this scenario, an authority limit could be set to $0 for the specific payment method of 'Manual Check' to force all such payments into the approval workflow.

Transaction Approval Rules (C): These rules allow for more granular, logic-based approval triggers beyond simple amounts. Since the requirement specifies 'all manual checks' (implying a condition based on the method of payment, not just the amount), a Transaction Approval Rule is the best practice configuration. The rule would be written to state: 'If Payment Method is Manual, then Approval is Required.'

Why not A (Approval Routing)? While Approval Routing rules determine who receives the request (the 'correct person'), the default behavior in ClaimCenter is to route approvals to the user's Supervisor. Since the requirement is simply 'Succeed requires Supervisor approval,' the standard routing logic likely suffices without needing new custom configuration. The critical configuration needed is the trigger (C and D) to stop the payment in the first place.
