NEW QUESTION # 146
You are the business analyst for your organization and you and your staff are creating as many solutions as possible to an identified problem in the solution approach process. What is this activity element called?
- A. Alternative generation
- B. Prototyping
- C. Brainstorming
- D. Lateral thinking
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Alternative generation is the activity element that is best described as creating as many solutions as possible to an identified problem in the solution approach process. Alternative generation involves exploring and evaluating different options for solving the problem or meeting the need, without limiting the creativity or feasibility of the solutions. Alternative generation helps to ensure that the best possible solution is selected and implemented. The other options are not activity elements that can achieve the same goal as alternative generation. Brainstorming is a technique for generating a large number of ideas or options for solutions in a creative and collaborative way. Prototyping is a technique for creating a simplified or partial version of the solution to test its functionality, usability, or design. Lateral thinking is a technique for solving problems by using an indirect or creative approach, rather than a conventional or logical one. References:

NEW QUESTION # 160

- B. Document management
- C. Repository
- D. Email

Email allows for quick dissemination of information and can be used to reach all relevant stakeholders across different regions effectively.

NEW QUESTION # 163
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?
- A. Yes, this allows the project manager to get the risky work done as soon as possible in the schedule.
- B. 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.
- C. No, the project manager and team should implement the requirements with the highest risks last.
- D. No, the project manager and team should actually implement the lowest risk requirements first.
Answer: B
Explanation:
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.

- B. The cost of each solution
- C. The schedule of implementation for each solution
- D. The cost of all requirements, some requirements, and a few core requirements
Answer: A
Explanation:
Whenever generating alternatives, the business analyst should always include the option of doing nothing.
Answer A is incorrect. The best answer is to include the option of doing nothing; the cost of the requirements isn't an in-depth consideration at this point.
Answer B is incorrect. The schedule for the implementation is often considered, but the option of doing nothing should always be considered.
Answer D is incorrect. The cost of each solution isn't the best choice for this QUESTION.
NEW QUESTION # 165
A business analyst (BA) has elicited non-functional information for a system's replacement. In reviewing the elicitation results, the BA finds the number of concurrent users is a large portion of the target user group, which seems high. How should the BA proceed?
- A. Observe a user performing the task to determine the length of time to complete the task
- B. Document the elicitation results in the solution requirements specification then seek verification and validation in a requirements review
- C. Confirm elicitation results by researching the actual concurrent users on the existing system and review findings with stakeholders
- D. Conduct additional stakeholder analysis to determine whether any additional user groups were overlooked
Answer: C
Explanation:
The BA should confirm elicitation results by researching the actual concurrent users on the existing system and review findings with stakeholders after finding that the number of concurrent users is a large portion of the target user group, which seems high. This means that the BA should verify and validate the non-functional information for the system's replacement by comparing it with the factual data from the current system and discussing it with the stakeholders who provided it. Confirming elicitation results can help to ensure the accuracy, completeness, clarity, and consistency of the information.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option A is incorrect because observing a user performing the task to determine the length of time to complete the task is not an action that the BA takes after finding that the number of concurrent users is a large portion of the target user group, which seems high, but an action that the BA takes to elicit information from stakeholders by watching them perform their tasks or roles. Observing a user performing the task can help to understand how they interact with the system or solution.
Option B is incorrect because documenting the elicitation results in the solution requirements specification then seeking verification and validation in a requirements review is not an action that the BA takes after finding that the number of concurrent users is a large portion of the target user group, which seems high, but an action that the BA takes to record and communicate the elicitation results to stakeholders and ensure that they meet their needs and expectations. Documenting the elicitation results in the solution requirements specification can help to define and document the features, functions, and characteristics of the system or solution.
Option C is incorrect because conducting additional stakeholder analysis to determine whether any additional user groups were overlooked is not an action that the BA takes after finding that the number of concurrent users is a large portion of the target user group, which seems high, but an action that the BA takes to identify and evaluate the characteristics, needs, expectations, and influences of stakeholders.
Conducting additional stakeholder analysis can help to discover and engage new or missed stakeholders.
