Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

Requirements are formed based on the stakeholders’ needs, wants, and expectations. Stakeholders are the individuals or groups that have an interest or influence on the project or the solution, and their needs, wants, and expectations are the problems or opportunities that they want to address orachieve. Requirements are the statements that describe the features and characteristics of the solution that will meet the stakeholder needs, wants, and expectations. Requirements are elicited, analyzed, documented, validated, and managed throughout the business analysis process12 Option B is incorrect because a solutions-based approach is not how requirements are formed, but how solutions are designed. A solutions-based approach is a type of deductive approach that focuses on finding and implementing the best solution for a given problem. A solutions-based approach is not related to how requirements are formed, but to how requirements are analyzed and evaluated3 Option C is incorrect because a change-driven approach is not how requirements are formed, but how business analysis work is conducted. A change-driven approach is a business analysis approach that focuses on minimizing up-front uncertainty and delivering business value in short cycles. A change-driven approach is not related to how requirements are formed, but to how requirements are elicited, prioritized, and verified4

Option D is incorrect because a risk and reward solution is not how requirements are formed, but how solutions are assessed. A risk and reward solution is a type of solution that involves balancing the potential benefits and costs of the solution, and taking into account the uncertainties and assumptions that affect the solution. A risk and reward solution is not related to how requirements are formed, but to how requirements are validated and traced5

Question #89

Henry is meeting with Janet, the business analyst of the organization. They are discussing an opportunity to create a new service their company can provide, though the startup of the service would take time and an investment. Henry wants Janet to explore the possibility of this new venture.

What activity is Henry asking Janet to complete?

A . Brainstorm the business need.
B . Create a data diagram for the service.
C . Define the business need.
D . Elicit the requirements of the proposal.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: C
C

Explanation:

Defining the business need is the activity that Henry is asking Janet to complete. Defining the business need is the process of identifying and describing the problem or opportunity that the organization faces and how it aligns with the organizational goals and objectives. It helps to set the direction and scope for the rest of the business analysis activities and to justify the initiation of a project or an initiative. Defining the business need is part of the strategy analysis knowledge area in the CCBA certification12

Option A is incorrect because brainstorming the business need is not an activity, but a technique. Brainstorming is a technique that involves generating and evaluating new and original ideas to address a problem or an opportunity. It can be used as part of defining the business need, but it is not the same as defining the business need34

Option B is incorrect because creating a data diagram for the service is not an activity, but a deliverable. A data diagram is a graphical representation of the data and information that are relevant to the solution. It can be used as an output of defining the business need, but it is not the same as defining the business need.

Option D is incorrect because eliciting the requirements of the proposal is not an activity, but a process. Eliciting the requirements is the process of identifying and obtaining the information needed from the stakeholders and other sources to define and validate the requirements. It can be used as an input to defining the business need, but it is not the same as defining the business need.
