Question 3
A new business analyst (BA) wants to follow the correct order of phases in the implementation lifecycle on a Salesforce project.
How should the BA approach the project?
Explanation:
The correct order of phases in the implementation lifecycle on a Salesforce project is analyze, build, deliver, operate. In the analyze phase, the business analyst elicits requirements, maps business processes, and creates user stories. In the build phase, the development team configures and customizes Salesforce based on the user stories. In the deliver phase, the solution is tested, validated, and deployed to production. In the operate phase, the solution is monitored, maintained, and improved based on feedback and metrics.

Question 4
A business analyst is using storytelling to communicate the vision for a Salesforce solution to business stakeholders.
Which storytelling technique should the BA use in their initial demo of a solution to business stakeholders?
Explanation:
A business analyst should use storytelling to communicate the vision for a Salesforce solution to business stakeholders by giving a perspective from a relatable persona that shows how the development team can solve their business challenges. This will help them empathize with the user's needs and goals, and see how the solution will benefit them. Highlighting a perspective from testing feedback that identifies bugs and pain points in their business challenges may be discouraging or demotivating for the stakeholders. Describing a perspective from the business requirements document that addresses architectural concerns based on their business challenges may be too technical or abstract for the stakeholders.

Question 5
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) plans to significantly grow its workforce and wants to increase the overall security of its Sales Cloud instance. NTO has previously implemented a complex security solution with organization wide defaults, criteria-based sharing rules, and dozens of user profiles. NTO has asked a business analyst (0A) for recommendations on how to proceed.
Which aspect of a potential solution is most important for a BA to consider?
Explanation:
This answer considers scalability as the most important aspect of a potential solution for NTO's security challenge. Scalability refers to the ability of a system to handle increased workload or demand without compromising performance or functionality. Since NTO plans to significantly grow its workforce, it needs a security solution that can accommodate more users, data, and features without compromising security or efficiency.

Question 6
Cloud Kicks (CK) has expressed concerns about the distribution process for a new line of shoes, because the company consistently misses its targeted delivery dates. CK asks the business analyst (BA) to uncover the issue and propose a business solution.
What should the BA do next?
Explanation:
This answer suggests shadowing as the next step for the BA to uncover the issue and propose a business solution for CK's distribution challenge. Shadowing is a technique where the BA observes how a user performs their tasks in their natural environment. Shadowing helps to gain insights into the user's workflow, challenges, pain points, and opportunities for improvement.
