To successfully meet governance requirements to identify the business purpose, the business analyst should adhere to agreed upon mapping standards. Mapping standards are guidelines or conventions that define how to create and document business process maps. They help to ensure consistency, clarity, and quality of the process maps across different projects and teams. They also help to align the process maps with the business objectives and requirements, and support regulatory considerations.

This answer selects Universal Process Notation (UPN) as the diagramming notation that the BA should use for the process map. UPN is a simple and standardized way of creating process maps, using only four symbols: activity, decision, start/end, and annotation. UPN can help the BA create a process map that is applicable across all industries, provides context for metrics and management decisions, and supports regulatory considerations.

This answer chooses user stories as the element that the BA should use to define the intended results of the work based on stakeholder needs. User stories are short and simple descriptions of a feature or a functionality from the perspective of an end user or a stakeholder. User stories can help the BA define what stakeholders want to accomplish, why they want to accomplish it, and how they will measure success. User stories can also help the development and implementation teams to plan product decisions based on stakeholder value.

A functional requirement specification is a statement that describes what a product or service must do or provide to meet user needs or business objectives. It should be clear, concise, testable, and measurable.

When a business analyst discovers that different teams have different needs or preferences for using Salesforce fields, they should refine the requirements to accommodate both teams. This is because deleting fields that are actively used by another team could cause data loss, errors, or inefficiencies in their processes. The business analyst should work with both teams to understand their use cases, data models, workflows, reports, dashboards, integrations, security settings, etc., and find ways to customize Salesforce fields that meet both teams' needs without compromising data quality or performance.

This answer provides an example of good acceptance criteria for the scenario of integrating Salesforce with the largest online professional network. Acceptance criteria are statements that define the conditions that a solution must meet to be accepted by the stakeholders or users. Acceptance criteria should be clear, concise, testable, and measurable. This answer meets these criteria by stating what a sales rep can do (view current information), where they can do it (in the Lead and Contact records), and how they can verify it (directly).

When a business analyst learns that another team also needs email integration in the near future, they should include that team during discovery. This is because including all relevant stakeholders early in the project can help to identify common needs, avoid duplication of work, leverage synergies, and deliver value faster. The business analyst should invite the operations team to participate in discovery activities such as interviews, surveys, workshops, observations, etc., and capture their requirements, expectations, and feedback. The business analyst should also communicate the project scope, timeline, and risks to both teams and manage any changes or issues that may arise.

The groups that the business analyst should work with to gain full alignment on a common program vision and strategy are senior leadership, IT leadership, and middle management. Senior leadership are the executives who have the authority and vision for the Salesforce implementation. IT leadership are the managers or directors who oversee the technical aspects of the Salesforce implementation. Middle management are the supervisors or team leads who manage the sales and service teams. These groups can help the business analyst define the goals, scope, requirements, and success criteria of the Salesforce implementation, and resolve any disagreements or conflicts among them. Business leaders, end users, and executive sponsors are other groups that may be involved in the Salesforce implementation, but they may not have the same level of influence or responsibility as senior leadership, IT leadership, and middle management.
