You are the business analyst for your organization. Management has asked you to define and document the requirements of an endeavor so that the requirements may be reused again in the organization.
Why would an organization want to re-use requirements?

  1. Re-using requirements is useful if the organization wants to sell the set of requirements to its customers.
  2. Re-using requirements is useful if the current solution fails.
  3. Re-using requirements is useful when the requirements are something the organization must do on an ongoing basis.
  4. Re-using requirements doesn't mean re-using the requirements over and over, but tracing the requirements to actual deliverables.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When an organization identifies a set of requirements for an ongoing set of activities, it's useful to craft the requirements so that the requirements may be used over and over. This saves time, effort, and cost.

This is not a valid statement about re-using requirements in an organization. Answer D is incorrect. This is not a valid statement about re-using requirements in an organization.



In the life of a project, when do the number and impact of change requests often increase?

  1. During project planning
  2. Once the project scope is reviewed
  3. Towards the end of the project
  4. At the launch of the project

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

As the life of the project draws towards its end, there's often an increase in the number of change requests.
When change requests are made towards the end of a project, however, the cost and impact of the change increases significantly.
Answer D is incorrect. It's ideal for change requests, if they must happen, to happen at the launch of the project, not just at the end.
Answer A is incorrect. The best answer is that change requests must happen towards the end of project execution, not just project planning. Planning spans the entire life of the project. Answer B is incorrect. Scope review happens early in the project and changes early in the project are easier to incorporate and manage than changes at the end of the project.



You are the business analyst for your organization and preparing to plan the business analysis approach. There are three inputs to the business analysis approach.
Which one of the following is not an input to this approach?

  1. Organizational process asset
  2. Expert judgment
  3. Enterprise environmental factor
  4. Business need

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Enterprise environmental factors are the rules, policies, and procedures that the business analyst must adhere to.

Bradley is working with the business analyst Marsha to prioritize requirements for their organization. Marsha insists that the requirements be ranked on the cost-benefits analysis of the relative value to the organization.

  1. Likelihood of success
  2. Business value
  3. Urgency
  4. CBR Ratio

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Marsha wants to utilize the business value of the requirements using a cost-benefit analysis of each requirement. The requirements with the higher value are most important.

Answer A is incorrect. This is not a valid approach to be used in this scenario.

Answer D is incorrect. There is not a basis for prioritization called the CBR ratio; this is not a valid choice. Answer C is incorrect. Urgency prioritizes requirements based on time sensitivity.



Billy is the business analyst for her organization and she's working with a team to select a model. Richard doesn't understand why a model is needed for the requirements.

  2. Models restrict the effect, risk, cost, and schedule of the solution.
  3. Models define the solution in time, cost, space, and logistics.
  4. Models show the complete solution in a non-functional slice of the organization.

Answer(s): A

According to 'A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge', models are ideal because they abstract and simplify reality. They help simplify reality in a way that's useful for understanding the requirements and their impact on the organization.
Answer C is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement about why it's important to use a model. Answer D is incorrect. Models do not show the solution in a non-functional portion of the organization. Answer B is incorrect. Models do not restrict the attributes of the solution.
