You are the business analyst for a smaller project where there are few requirements. Management would still like you to create a method to trace the few requirements for this project.
What type of matrix would be best in this instance?

  1. Coverage matrix
  2. Requirements trace matrix
  3. Roles and responsibility matrix
  4. RACI matrix

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A coverage matrix is a table used to manage tracing. It is ideal for smaller projects where there are few requirements to trace. It's also ideal for when only the high-level requirements need to be traced.
Answer B is incorrect. A requirements trace matrix is a table used to track requirements' relationships. The columns in the table provide requirements information and associated project. It is ideal for a solution with many requirements to trace throughout the solution.
Answer C is incorrect. A roles and responsibility matrix maps team members to their work in the project or business analysis duties.
Answer D is incorrect. A RACI chart is a type of roles and responsibilities matrix that uses the legend of responsible, accountable, consult, and inform.



You need to identify assumptions as part of the assessment of capability gaps.
Which of the following is an example of an assumption?

  1. The project manager believes that her project team members can program in COBOL.
  2. The software must be compatible with the current operating system.
  3. The risk in the project must be quantified.
  4. All vendors must have security clearance.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Of all the choices, the belief about the project team members is the best example of an assumption. An assumption is something that is believed to be true, but it has not been proven to be true. Answer B is incorrect. This is an example of a constraint. Answer D is incorrect. This is an example of a requirement.
Answer C is incorrect. This is an enterprise environmental factor, which could also be seen as a requirement.



If a requirement has been satisfied, why is it still considered a requirement?

  1. A requirement is considered a requirement as long as the requirement may be able to be changed.
  2. Requirements are considered requirements even if the requirements have been satisfied.
  3. A requirement is considered valid as long as the business stakeholders need it.
  4. If a requirement has been satisfied, it is no longer a requirement and should be purged from the requirements set.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A requirement is considered valid as long as the business stakeholders need it. This is true for ongoing requirements that are reused in the organization. Answer D is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement as to why satisfied requirements are still considered requirements.
Answer B is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement as to why satisfied requirements are still considered requirements.
Answer A is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement; the ability to change a requirement doesn't make it necessarily a satisfied requirement.



You are the business analyst for your organization and you're working with Nancy, the Sales Director. You've been identifying requirements for Nancy about the sales force and her desire to add a customer management solution to the sales process. Nancy believes that the software can help automate the sales process, keep things better organized than the current approach, and ultimately create more sales for the organization. As a business analyst, which one of the following should you advise Nancy about her need?

  1. There's an assumption that the perceived solution will create the desired benefit.
  2. There are no constraints in the analysis process.
  3. There is a cost, time, and quality constraint that must be satisfied to create the solution.
  4. There will be a cost and time element to create the solution.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Nancy is making an assumption that the software will make the entire sales process better. She's identified a solution that she assumes will improve the entire sales process. Answer D is incorrect.
While there will be a cost and time element, this isn't the best answer to the question and scenario.
Answer B is incorrect. There are constraints in the analysis process, so this isn't the best choice. Answer C is incorrect.
While this statement is true, it doesn't address Nancy's assumption about the solution; she's already attached to the problem.



You are the business analyst for your organization and you're reviewing a change to your requirements. During this impact analysis, what tool can best help you assess the total impact of a requirement change?

  1. Implementation SME
  2. Traceability
  3. Coverage matrix
  4. Integrated change control

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Traceability can help a business analyst determine the full impact of a change on requirements.
When changes are presented and/or approved, traceability helps the business analyst determine what changes affect other requirements within the set. Answer C is incorrect. A coverage matrix can be used to help facilitate tracing of requirements. Answer A is incorrect. An Implementation SME is a stakeholder, not a tool, who may help link requirements to the solution components.
Answer D is incorrect. Integrated change control is a project management activity, not a business analysis tool, so this choice is incorrect.
