IIBA IIBA Certifications CCBA Questions & Answers
Question 291:
Before requirements can actually be approved to be managed, what must be true about the requirements?
A. Requirements must support the solution scope.
B. Requirements must be approved by the technical review board.
C. Requirements must support the requirements management plan.
D. Requirements are governed by the requirements management plan.
Correct Answer: A
For requirements to be approved, they must support the solution scope. The solution scope defines what's in and out of the range of requirements for business analysis activities. Answer: B is incorrect. A technical review doesn't approve requirements; the solution scope defines what's approved based on what's in alignment with the scope. Answer: C is incorrect. The requirements management plan doesn't affect the requirements that are or are not approved. Answer: D is incorrect. While this statement may be somewhat true, it doesn't define how requirements are approved before their governance.
Question 292:
You are a Business Analyst for your organization, and you're preparing to elicit requirements from stakeholders. You've gathered several inputs to help with the elicitation process. Which input will you use to ensure that you understand the type of information that should be elicited from stakeholders?
A. Roles and Responsibilities
B. Stakeholder List
C. Business Need
D. Risk Assessment
Correct Answer: C
The inputs required to prepare for elicitation are as follows:
Business Need. It guarantees that the type of information elicited from stakeholders is understood to the business analyst. This input is used at the time of eliciting business requirements. Solution Scope and Business Case. It guarantees that
the type of information elicited from stakeholders is understood to the business analyst. This input is used at the time of eliciting stakeholder, transaction requirement, and solution. Stakeholder List, Roles, and Responsibilities. It is required for
the identification of stakeholders that are required to participate in elicitation activity. Answer: D is incorrect. Risk Assessment is a review of the risks in the project, and isn't an input to the elicitation business analyst tasks.
Question 293:
The task of verifying requirements is used to ensure that the requirements are ready for formal review and validation by the customers and for what other purpose?
A. For defining the specifications for the desired future state based on the solution
B. For gaining approval of chartering the project
C. For defining the information to allow additional work to be performed
D. For gaining approval of cost and schedule
Correct Answer: C
Requirement's verification allows the business analyst and key stakeholders to define any additional information that will allow any additional work to be performed. In other words, once the current requirements are approved, the tasks may
continue forward based on what's been analyzed so far.
Answer: D is incorrect. Gaining approval of the cost and schedule is not an accurate answer. Answer: B is incorrect. Chartering a project isn't the best answer for this QUESTION. Answer: A is incorrect. The requirements comprise the
solution scope for the business need, so this isn't the best answer for the QUESTION.
Question 294:
Robert is the business analyst for his organization and he gathered and documented the requirements for a new solution. The stakeholders agree through informal communications that Robert has successfully captured the needed requirements for the solution. The stakeholders signoff on the requirements. What does the signoff represent to Robert?
A. That the stakeholders agree that the requirements are constrained by time, cost, and quality.
B. That the project can now be launched.
C. That the stakeholders agree that the requirements are accurate and complete.
D. That his work is done.
Correct Answer: C
Stakeholder signoff of the requirements can be formal or informal, though either instance is a confirmation by the stakeholders that the business analyst has identified the completed and accurate requirements. Answer: D is incorrect. Robert is not done with his business analysis duties just because the requirements have been approved. Answer: B is incorrect. The project may not launch even though the requirements are accurate and complete. There could be other circumstances that prevent the project from launching - such as cost, feasibility, or tactics. Answer: A is incorrect. Requirements are simply the identified needs to solve a problem or present a solution. Projects are constrained by time, cost, and scope. Quality is not one of the three constraints but it is achieved by the balance of time, cost, and fulfillment of scope.
Question 295:
You are the business analyst for your organization. Management has asked you to create a plan that will define the proposed structure and schedule for communicating the business analysis activities to the appropriate stakeholders. What plan does management want you to create?
A. Stakeholder Management Plan
B. Business Analysis Plan
C. Communications management plan
D. Business Analysis Communications Plan
Correct Answer: D
Management is asking you to create the business analysis communication plan. Answer: C is incorrect. This is a specific question asking for the BABOK definition of the business analysis communication plan. Answer: B is incorrect. The business analysis plan defines the activities and scope of work. Answer: A is incorrect. The stakeholder management plan defines how the business analyst will manage the fears, threats, requirements, and demands of the stakeholders.
Question 296:
You are the business analyst in your organization and you've just completed the assessment on three different proposed solutions. In your judgment, you don't think any of the solutions provide enough value to justify being
implemented. What should you tell the stakeholders?
A. Choose the least costly solution.
B. Ask for more time to find justification for the solutions.
C. Terminate the initiative.
D. Present each solution and allow the stakeholders to decide.
Correct Answer: C
When there is no business value to implement the solution, then you should recommend that the initiative be terminated.
Answer: A is incorrect. Choosing the least costly solution that doesn't add value doesn't make sense for the organization.
Answer: D is incorrect. While this is tempting, the best choice is to recommend that the initiative be terminated. There's not a good reason to implement a solution that doesn't bring value to the organization. Answer: B is incorrect. Asking for
more time isn't the best answer when you've already determined there's no business value in the solutions.
Question 297:
A business analyst has been assigned the task of developing a model of the current state of an organization. The business analyst doesn't understand why a current state may be needed. All of the following are good reasons to create a current state model of an organization except for which one?
A. Analyzing the current state of the organization to look for opportunities for improvement
B. Assessing the positive and negative risks that may exist within the current state
C. Validating the solution scope with businesses and technical stakeholders
D. Assisting stakeholders to understand the current state
Correct Answer: B
The process of creating a model of the current state isn't needed to assess the positive and negative risks of the organization. This is not a valid statement, so this is the correct answer to the QUESTION. Answer: C is incorrect. Validating the solution scope with businesses and technical stakeholders is a good reason to create a current statement assessment and model. Answer: A is incorrect. Analyzing the current state of the organization to look for opportunities for improvement is a valid reason to develop a current state model. Answer: D is incorrect. Assisting stakeholders to understand the current state is a valid reason to develop a current state model.
Question 298:
You are the business analyst for your organization. You are currently identifying opportunities for a customer to improve their business processes. The customer wants to streamline their business efforts either through new technologies, better processes, or a combination of both. The customer demands, however, that the solution should not cost more than $300,000 to implement and support for one year. What does the $300,000 represent?
A. Budget
B. Constraint
C. Solution cost
D. Requirements
Correct Answer: B
The maximum price of $300,000 is a constraint that the solution must be bound to. The solution does not have to cost $300,000, it just cannot exceed this limit. Answer: A is incorrect. A budget is the defined amount of funds to implement a solution. In this instance, the stakeholder will accept a maximum of $300,000 or less for a solution. Because a solution has not been identified the budget is not yet known. Answer: D is incorrect. Requirements are the characteristics of the solution, not the constraint of the price. Answer: C is incorrect. A solution has not yet been proposed so the cost of the solution is still unknown.
Question 299:
Beth is the business analyst for her organization and she's creating a data dictionary for her organization. All of the following information should be included in the data dictionary for an endeavor Beth is leading except for which one?
A. Description
B. Aliases
C. Name
D. Code of account identifier
Correct Answer: D
Code of account identifier is not a valid selection. The code of accounts is a numbering system used in WBS to identify each element and work packages. The correct elements to include in the data dictionary are names, aliases, values and meanings, and description. Answer: C is incorrect. This is a valid element to include in the data dictionary. Answer: B is incorrect. This is a valid element to include in the data dictionary. Answer: A is incorrect. This is a valid element to include in the data dictionary.
Question 300:
What's the difference between a desired outcome and a solution? Choose the best answer.
A. The desired outcome is how the organization will operate in the future; the solution is the method to reach the desired outcome.
B. They are synonymous.
C. The solution is the ideal fulfillment of the business goals; the desired outcome is the financial gain created by the implementation of the solution.
D. The desired outcome is what the solution will remove.
Correct Answer: A
Of all the choices, only this answer properly identifies the desired outcome as how the organization will operate once the solution has been implemented. Answer: B is incorrect. Business goals and desired outcomes are not the same. Answer: D is incorrect. The solution doesn't remove the desired outcome. Answer: C is incorrect. The solution is not always a financial gain so this choice is not valid.
