The timing of the business analysis activities in the plan-driven approach includes defining when enterprise analysis, requirements analysis, solution assessment, and validation activities occur. It does not, however, include the timing of the business analysis governance.

Answer B is incorrect. Solution assessment should be defined as part of the business analysis approach.

Job shadowing is an elicitation process that is a part of job observation. In this process, the observer is required to keep an eye on those workers whose work routine is down and who are unable to explain their work. The observer has to understand their work process for better assessment of the modifications of the work required. The following are the approaches for this technique:

Passive/Invisible. In this approach, the observer does not ask Questions from the user about his work while the user is working.

Active/Visible. In this approach, the observer does ask Questions from the user about his work even when the user is working.

Answer A is incorrect. Identifying stakeholders is one of the first business analysis activities.

Answer C is incorrect. Defining and determining business analysis processes are needed as part of business analysis planning.

Answer D is incorrect. Planning how requirements will be approached, traced, and prioritized is a precursor to requirements elicitation.

The plan-driven approach defines business analysis activities. This approach is used to focus on minimizing up-front uncertainty and to ensure that the solution is fully defined before implementation begins in order to maximize control and minimize risk. It is preferred when requirements are effectively defined in advance of implementation.

Answer C and A are incorrect. These are not valid approaches for the business.

Answer B is incorrect. The change-driven approach does not focus on minimizing up-front uncertainty.

Plan driven approaches to business analysis practices most often use the formal type of communications. This means the communication of the actual requirements is in writing, and often uses pre-defined forms requiring signatory approvals. All project documentation is normally archived as part of the project history. Face-to-face is an effective communication method, but for plan-driven approaches, formal communication is preferred in regard to requirements. Ad hoc describes the sudden, quick conversations. This is an informal approach to communication and isn't appropriate for a plan-driven business analysis approach.

The way the business need is defined directly affects the solutions offered, the stakeholders involved, and the approaches the organization may take to seize the opportunity or solutions.

Answer A is incorrect. This is the definition of what the business need is, but it's not the best answer for the Question.

Answer B is incorrect. The business need does not define the solution; it shows the need for a solution. Answer C is incorrect. This is not a valid statement about this process of the business analysis effort.

Creative thinking does not set a pre-determined amount of new ideas required in order to be deemed successful. Setting a pre-determined amount of new ideas may actually cap the amount of ideas that can be generated or the ideas may be poorly formulated in order to reach the predetermined quota of ideas.

Answer D, C, and A are incorrect. These are effective measurements of creative thinking.

This is the most common business analysis activity in enterprise analysis. Henry is asking Janet to define the business need. The purpose of defining business need is to identify and define why a change to organizational systems or capabilities is required. The business need is an important step in any business analysis effort. The business analyst tries to find a solution for the problem defined by the business need.

Answer A is incorrect. This isn't an example of a brainstorming session, as it's just Janet exploring the need for the new service. Brainstorming is a technique to gather general data. It can be used to identify risks, ideas, or solutions to issues by using a group of team members or subject-matter expert. Brainstorming is a group creativity technique that also provides other benefits, such as boosting morale, enhancing work enjoyment, and improving team work. It contains the following aims.

Production of numerous new ideas Derivation of themes from those ideas for further analysis Answer D is incorrect. This is not an example of requirements elicitation, though Janet's findings could lead to elicitation.

Answer B is incorrect. A data diagram shows the flow of data into and out of a system.
