Question 1

The business analyst (BA) is not having great success scheduling stakeholder meetings. Stakeholders say they are too busy or there are higher priority meetings on their calendars. The BA is concerned, knowing that stakeholder availability, attitude, and willingness to engage will impact the timeliness of project delivery as well as the .



Answer : B

Stakeholder availability, attitude, and willingness to engage are critical factors for the success of any business analysis effort, as they affect the quality, validity, and acceptance of the requirements and the solution. If the stakeholders are not available or willing to participate in the elicitation, validation, and verification activities, the BA may face difficulties in obtaining, confirming, and managing the requirements, and in ensuring that they meet the stakeholder needs and expectations. Moreover, if the stakeholders are not engaged or supportive of the change initiative, they may delay or reject the approval of the requirements or the solution, which can impact the timeliness of project delivery as well as the realization of the business value. Therefore, the BA should try to schedule stakeholder meetings as early and as frequently as possible, and use various techniques to communicate and collaborate with the stakeholders effectively. The other options are not the best answers, as they are not directly influenced by the stakeholder availability, attitude, and willingness to engage, but rather by other factors, such as the testing strategy, the governance approach, the reuse strategy, or the risk management process.Reference:Golden Rules of Stakeholder Engagement in Business Analysis,Engaging Stakeholders in Elicitation and Collaboration,CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, 2nd Edition, [BABOK Guide]

Prototyping is a technique that is used to test customer acceptance of the solution and to measure marketplace demand. Prototyping involves creating a simplified or partial version of the solution that can be used to demonstrate, evaluate, and validate the features and functions of the solution with the stakeholders. Prototyping can help to elicit feedback, identify gaps, reduce risks, and increase customer satisfaction. Prototyping can also help to estimate the potential market size, demand, and profitability of the solution.Reference:

Question 3

You are the business analyst for your organization and are beginning the requirements analysis processes.

Which one of the following statements best describes the requirements analysis processes?



Answer : A

The requirements analysis processes are the activities that prioritize, organize, specify, model, verify, and validate the requirements for the solution. They ensure that analysis and implementation efforts focus on the most critical requirements that deliver the most value to the stakeholders and the organization. They also help to resolve any conflicts or inconsistencies among the requirements and the stakeholders.Reference:

Question 4

You have identified several problems that you need to track as the business analysis duties progress. You want to make certain that the identified activities are resolved.

What document elicitation technique can help in this scenario?



Answer : D

Problem tracking is a document elicitation technique that can help in this scenario. Problem tracking is the process of identifying, documenting, and resolving issues that arise during the business analysis process. Problem tracking helps to ensure the quality and validity of the requirements and the solutions. Problem tracking also provides an opportunity for stakeholders to rank the importance of issues affecting them. Problem tracking can be done using various tools, such as spreadsheets, databases, or software applications. Problem tracking can help the business analyst to monitor the status of the issues, communicate the progress and outcomes to the stakeholders, and improve the business analysis performance and practices. The other options are not document elicitation techniques, but rather information elicitation techniques. Brainstorming is a technique that involves generating new ideas and finding solutions for a specific problem. Observation is a technique that involves watching how people perform their tasks or interact with a system. Interviews are a technique that involves asking questions and documenting the responses from a single person or a group of people.Reference:

Question 5

A business analyst (BA) is developing an approach for information management. The BA needs to identify and categorize which information is to be managed.

Which of the following techniques should the BA use to achieve this objective?



Answer : D

Mind mapping is a technique that involves creating a visual representation of information, using a central idea and branching out to related topics, subtopics, and details. Mind mapping can help the BA to identify and categorize which information is to be managed, as it allows the BA to organize, structure, and classify information in a hierarchical and logical way. Mind mapping can also help the BA to discover gaps, overlaps, and relationships among information, and to communicate information effectively to stakeholders. The other options are not the best techniques for this objective, as they are more focused on tracking the status, behavior, or appearance of items, creating a working model of a solution, or observing the actions and interactions of stakeholders.Reference:CBAP Handbook,CBAP Study Guide,BABOK Guide


Question 6

Yolanda is the web designer for your company and you are the business analyst. You are working with Yolanda on a new website that your company will host. You'd like for her to create a mock-up of the website without spending much time on the actual workings behind the web interface. You'd like for her to show the customer how the website will look, some idea of the functionality of the website, and some basic graphics and colors so the customer can see the direction of the project.

What type of prototype are you asking Yolanda to create?



Answer : D

A horizontal prototype is a type of prototype that focuses on the user interface and the look and feel of the system, without much attention to the functionality or the back-end processes. It is useful for demonstrating the appearance and navigation of the system to the customer and getting feedback on the design. A horizontal prototype is also called a mock-up prototype or a storyboard prototype.

Question 7

An innovative pizza restaurant announces a new pizza topping each week. Once advertised, the new topping on the regular dough constitutes the sole pizza type offered during the week. No other pizza toppings are offered.

Which of the following processes is a strong candidate to be addressed while planning for requirements reuse?



Answer : D

Ad images are a strong candidate to be addressed while planning for requirements reuse, because they are likely to change frequently and have common elements that can be reused across different weeks. Requirements reuse is a technique that involves identifying, storing, and reusing requirements or requirement components for future projects or initiatives. It can help to reduce duplication, improve consistency, and save time and effort. Ad images can benefit from requirements reuse, because they can use a standard template, format, and style, and only change the specific image and text for each new topping. Dough preparation, toppings preparation, and topping recipes are not good candidates for requirements reuse, because they are either stable or unique for each week.Reference:
