Kendra is the business analyst for her organization. She's working with the project manager and the project sponsor to discuss the current requirements. Kendra believes it's important for the project manager to first implement the requirements with the highest amount of risks. Is this a good idea?

  1. No, the project manager and team should actually implement the lowest risk requirements first.
  2. Yes, if the risky requirements cause the project to fail, the organization will not suffer much loss, as it hasn't invested much time or money on the project.
  3. No, the project manager and team should implement the requirements with the highest risks last.
  4. Yes, this allows the project manager to get the risky work done as soon as possible in the schedule.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

It's often best to implement the most risky requirements first in the project. If the risky requirements cause the project to fail, the organization will not suffer much loss, as it hasn't invested much time or money on the project.
Answer A is incorrect. It's not the best idea to implement the lowest risk requirements first.

Answer C is incorrect. Implementing the highest risk requirements last could cause all of the prior work to be worthless if the risky requirements fail. Answer D is incorrect. This choice is tempting, but the best reason is the financial consideration of the risky event in the project.



Henry and Fred are working together on business analysis duties for the implementation of new software. Henry, the business analyst, tells Fred that they should take the current measurement of productivity, and then measure again after the solution has been implemented. This benchmarking approach will allow Henry and Fred to see the real effect of the solution on the business need.
What term is assigned to this measurement?

  1. Post implementation factor
  2. Yield
  3. Key performance indicators
  4. S-Curve

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The measurements are known as key performance indicators. It's an approach for measuring how well the solution has affected the organization.
Answer D is incorrect. The S-curve describes the direction of elements over time, such as time and cost, in a typical business analysis activity or in a project. Answer B is incorrect. The yield is the output of the effort.

Answer A is incorrect. It is not a business analysis term so this choice is incorrect.



Beth is the business analyst for her organization and she wants to be certain that she and her team follow the correct procedures for enterprise analysis.
What document can provide the governances for enterprise analysis efforts?

  1. Organizational process assets
  2. Enterprise environmental factors
  3. Business analysis plans
  4. Project charter

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Business analysis plans define the governance or rules and procedures that Beth should follow as the business analyst for her organization.
Answer A is incorrect. Organizational process assets are the rules and procedures for the implementation of documents, templates, and guidelines. Answer B is incorrect. Enterprise environmental factors are the regulations, policies, and procedures that are unique to an organization and industry. Answer D is incorrect. The project charter isn't the correct answer, as the charter authorizes the project, not business analysis activities.

  3. Change-driven approaches don't use a formal change control process.
  4. Change-driven approaches are driven by change control processes.

Answer A is incorrect. Change-driven approaches don't typically use a change control board.

Answer B is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement to describe the processes of change within a change-driven approach to requirements management.
