CCBA Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: A

When there are large groups of stakeholders, such as in this example, it's practical to find a group of stakeholders that can serve as representatives for the remainder of the stakeholders.

Answer: B is incorrect. It's not feasible, as the question indicates, for this large group of administrative assistants to attend requirements gathering workshops. Answer: C is incorrect. You can't assume that one small group of the administrative assistants needs is truly indicative of the reminder of the administrative assistants. Answer: D is incorrect. The administrative assistants' managers likely don't know enough detail of how the administrative assistants currently do their work to speak on their behalf.

Correct Answer: A

Signoff formalizes the agreement and confirmation that the requirements are accurate and complete. Answer: C is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement, as signoff shows the agreement of the stakeholders that the requirements are complete. Answer: D is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement. Answer: B is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement, as the agreement is among the stakeholders, not between the project manager and the project sponsor.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Change-driven approaches to business analysis deal with rapid delivery of the business value. The business value is delivered in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution. The change- driven approaches are preferred while taking an exploratory approach for incremental improvement of an existing solution. Answer: D is incorrect. Iterative is not a valid business analysis approach. Answer: C is incorrect. The plan-driven approach defines business analysis activities. This approach is used to focus on minimizing up-front uncertainty and to ensure that the solution is fully defined before implementation begins in order to maximize control and minimize risk. It is preferred when requirements are effectively defined in advance of implementation. Answer: A is incorrect. Progressive elaboration describes the project management approach of refining requirements and project scope, not the business analysis approach.

Correct Answer: D

The business analysis process of determining the solution approach is the process that's needed in order to define the solution scope and prepare the business plan for the endeavor. Answer: C is incorrect. Prioritization of requirements is

needed to rank requirements from the most important to the least important based on the identified needs. Answer: B is incorrect. Defining requirements management and communication is not related to the solution scope.

Answer: A is incorrect. Verifying requirements is the verification of the requirements for the stakeholders and completeness of the endeavor.

Correct Answer: C

The timing of the business analysis activities in the plan-driven approach includes defining when enterprise analysis, requirements analysis, solution assessment, and validation activities occur. It does not, however, include the timing of the

business analysis governance.

D is incorrect. Enterprise analysis timing should be defined as part of the business analysis approach. A is incorrect. Requirements analysis should be defined as part of the business analysis approach.

B is incorrect. Solution assessment should be defined as part of the business analysis approach.

Correct Answer: A

The BA should schedule a backlog walkthrough with the two stakeholders who do not agree on the priority of several product backlog items. This is because a backlog walkthrough is a technique that involves reviewing and discussing the product backlog items with the stakeholders to ensure a common understanding and agreement on their priority, scope, and acceptance criteria. A backlog walkthrough can help to resolve any conflicts or disagreements among the stakeholders and move the project forward. The other options are not as effective or appropriate as scheduling a backlog walkthrough.

Correct Answer: B

An interface analysis is a technique to identify and specify the information that is exchanged across system boundaries. It helps to ensure that the data captured by the new product is compatible with the existing downstream applications. A vendor assessment, a process and data model, and constraints and dependencies are not the first things to consider in this scenario.

Correct Answer: D

This is because when the requirements are complex and cannot be implemented by the project deadline, the BA should prioritize the requirements based on their value, urgency, and dependency, and communicate the priority to the project team and the stakeholders. This way, the BA can ensure that the most beneficial requirements are delivered first, and the expectations of the stakeholders are managed. Ensuring users are trained based on requirements (A) is not relevant to the question, as it is a post-implementation activity. Applying quality control on requirements (B) is a good practice, but it does not address the issue of complexity and deadline. Utilizing requirements documentation template ?is not a valid option, as it does not affect the prioritization or implementation of the requirements. References: CCBA Practice Test, CCBA Mock Test

Correct Answer: C

Requirements elicitation is a business analysis task; it is not a business analysis planning and monitoring approach.

B is incorrect. Decision analysis is a business analysis planning and monitoring approach so this choice is incorrect.

D is incorrect. Process modeling is a business analysis planning and monitoring approach so this choice is incorrect.

A is incorrect. Structured walkthroughs are a business analysis planning and monitoring approach so this choice is incorrect.
