Question 221

Universal Containers is transitioning to Slack as its internal communication tool and is ready to release.
What is the final step that a business analyst should perform during the user acceptance testing process that would ensure a 'go' decision?
Explanation:
The final step that a business analyst should perform during the user acceptance testing process that would ensure a ''go'' decision is to get written sign-off from all business stakeholders. Written sign-off means obtaining formal approval or confirmation from the business stakeholders that the system or solution meets their requirements or expectations and is ready to be released to production. Written sign-off helps to ensure a ''go'' decision by demonstrating that the system or solution has passed all the tests or validations, as well as resolving any issues or risks that may prevent the release. Written sign-off also helps to document and communicate the completion and acceptance of the user acceptance testing process.

Which step should the BA take first?

The business analyst should schedule a meeting with stakeholders and create a journey map by asking questions, collecting feedback, drawing diagrams, and validating information. Scheduling a meeting with stakeholders and creating a journey map helps to begin this process by engaging and involving them in defining and designing the new client onboarding process.

Question 225

Which Information should the BA gather during the initial discovery meeting?
Explanation:
The information that the business analyst should gather during the initial discovery meeting is the limitations of the current support process. The initial discovery meeting is a meeting where the business analyst meets with the key stakeholders and sponsors of a project to understand their needs, expectations, goals, challenges, and pain points. The business analyst should gather information about the limitations of the current support process to identify the gaps, issues, or opportunities for improvement that the project aims to address. The business analyst should also gather information about the scope, budget, timeline, deliverables, roles and responsibilities, and success criteria for the project. The employee review cycle for the support team is not information that the business analyst should gather during the initial discovery meeting. The employee review cycle is a process that evaluates the performance and development of employees on a regular basis. It is not relevant to the project scope or objectives and does not help identify the limitations of the current support process. The contact information for key stakeholders is not information that the business analyst should gather during the initial discovery meeting. The contact information for key stakeholders is a detail that can be obtained before or after the meeting, but it does not help understand the needs or expectations of the stakeholders or the limitations of the current support process.

Question 227

The business analyst (BA) at universal Containers is grooming user stories to add to the next sprint The BA Is having difficulty understanding the level of testing that's necessary for a particular story involving an update to an Important trigger.
What should the BA do to address the need for user acceptance testing (UAT)?
Explanation:
The business analyst should gather testing requirements from the stakeholder to address the need for user acceptance testing (UAT) for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. UAT is end-user testing performed in a sandbox or test environment to verify that a project or enhancement works as intended and what was originally requested is actually being delivered. The business analyst should gather testing requirements from the stakeholder to understand what scenarios or cases need to be tested, what data or inputs need to be used, what outputs or results need to be expected, and what criteria or metrics need to be measured. The business analyst should also document and communicate these testing requirements to the testers and developers involved in UAT. Running all Apex tests using change set validation is not an action that the business analyst should take to address the need for UAT for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. Running all Apex tests using change set validation is a process that checks whether deploying a change set would succeed or fail in another org without actually deploying it. Running all Apex tests using change set validation helps ensure code quality and coverage but does not verify whether a project or enhancement meets user needs or expectations. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger is not an action that the business analyst should take to address the need for UAT for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger is a process that checks whether the trigger works correctly and consistently for all objects that it affects. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger helps ensure functionality and performance but does not verify whether a project or enhancement meets user needs or expectations.

Question 228

The Salesforce project team at Universal Containers is reviewing a backlog of user stories to add to an sprint. The team is unsure of which story to begin working on.
What should the business analyst do to help with prioritization?
Explanation:
The business analyst should identify dependent components to help with prioritization of user stories to add to an sprint. Dependent components are components that rely on or affect other components in an application or system. Identifying dependent components can help determine which user stories are more critical, complex, risky, or interrelated than others and prioritize them accordingly. Identifying dependent components can also help avoid conflicts, errors, or delays caused by missing or incompatible components when developing or deploying user stories. Verifying acceptance criteria is not an action that the business analyst should take to help with prioritization of user stories to add to an sprint. Verifying acceptance criteria is a process that checks whether a user story meets its conditions or requirements for being done or acceptable. Verifying acceptance criteria can help validate and test user stories but does not help prioritize them based on their importance or urgency. Deleting the definition of done is not an action that the business analyst should take to help with prioritization of user stories to add to an sprint. Deleting the definition of done is a process that removes the criteria or standards that indicate when a user story is completed and ready for deployment. Deleting the definition of done can reduce quality and consistency of user stories but does not help prioritize them based on their importance or urgency.

A standard naming convention typically includes elements such as project name, document type, version number, date, author, etc. Using standard naming conventions is the best practice that the BA should train the employee on for sending a document because it helps the BA to organize and manage documents or files more efficiently and effectively, and to avoid confusion or duplication among them.
