IIBA CCBA Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 25

Requirements are based on stakeholders' needs, wants, and expectations. This is why it's important to identify stakeholders and requirements gathering processes early in the project to quickly and accurately capture requirements.

Answer B is incorrect. This is not a valid answer to the Question as not all requirements gathering are solutions-driven, but could be just a study.

Answer D is incorrect. The risk and reward solution is always considered, but requirements are based on stakeholders' needs, wants, and expectations.

Answer C is incorrect. The change-driven approach isn't a valid answer for this Question.

The best choice is to do at least one assessment or multiple assessments to compare the solutions.

Answer D is incorrect. There can be multiple solutions to a business need, so the business analyst may need to perform multiple assessments.

Answer C is incorrect. There's not a restriction of just one assessment per solution, as multiple assessments can be completed.

Answer B is incorrect. In the assessment, the business analyst may determine that some solutions are better than others and remove one or more possible solutions. The remaining solutions can then have iterations of assessments.

Whenever a business analyst hosts event-based elicitation, ground rules should always be established. Ground rules help organize how the elicitation will take, how feedback should be offered, and how identified requirements will be verified.

Answer C is incorrect. Robert will need to communicate the business opportunity before the workshop so the group understands the purpose of the workshop.

Answer B is incorrect. While stakeholders may have different rankings in the organization the understanding of which stakeholders are most important is not relevant to the meeting running smoothly.

Answer D is incorrect. Stakeholders do not need to understand how the requirements elicitation processes work beyond the workshop meeting.

This approach prioritizes requirements that are easiest to implement first. This allows the project team to work with the lowest risk requirements first to gain familiarity with the requirements. This is especially useful with a new technology or materials where a learning curve is involved.

Answer A is incorrect. There is not a prioritization basis for quantitative ranking. Answer B is incorrect. There is not a prioritization basis called positive risk ranking.

Answer C is incorrect. The basis of relationship to other requirements is useful for requirements that need to be implemented so that other requirements, which are dependent on the initial requirements, can be implemented.

Using expert judgment is ideal to determine the optimal business analysis approach. Answer A is incorrect. Even established business analyst can rely on expert judgment.

Answer C is incorrect. There's no proof presented that the expert will save time in the business analysis duties.

Answer B is incorrect. Henry, and business analysts in general, don't always need to use expert judgment to define the business analysis activities.

Of all these possible choices, the best answer is that communication needs will increase. Because complex projects often involve non-collocated stakeholders, it may be necessary to travel more often, have more teleconferences or video conferences, or take other measures to provide accurate and consistent communications across offices, countries, and time zones.

Answer B is incorrect. Face-to-face meetings are often the best type of communication, but this isn't the best choice presented.

Answer D is incorrect. Risks do not necessarily increase because the stakeholders are not collocated.

Answer A is incorrect. Costs do not necessarily increase in the business analysis approach because of the dispersed stakeholders.

Plan driven approaches to business analysis practices most often use the formal type of communication. 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.

Answer C is incorrect. Face-to-face is an effective communication method, but for plan-driven approaches, formal communication is preferred in regard to requirements.

Answer B is incorrect. 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.

Answer A is incorrect. Informal isn't preferred in a plan-driven approach.

This group can be called the core, executive, or leadership team. These processes interact with each other and with the processes in the other Knowledge Areas as well.

The user classes, profiles, and roles model helps organize the participants by their interaction, categories, and usage of the solution.

Answer B is incorrect. The concept and relationship model is a tempting choice, but this model can also show things, not just people.

Answer A is incorrect. Events models are tied to requests, actions, and responses, not just people.

Answer C is incorrect. Process models show repeatable actions to bring about a specific result.
