How would a business analyst use a Target Operating Model (TOM) in gap analysis?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A time based event is one that occurs at a regular or predetermined interval, such as monthly or quarterly. In this scenario, the printing of the monthly payslips is a time based event, as it happens every month. The notification from senior management is not an external or internal event, as it is not triggered by an external or internal stakeholder or situation. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

As a business analyst, I'd say A is the way to go. Gotta love a good gap analysis using the TOM. It's like putting together a puzzle, but with spreadsheets instead of tiny cardboard pieces.

D is just completely off-base. The TOM is about the organization, not about individual stakeholder views. What a silly answer option!

Haha, C is a bit too specific. The TOM is more about the overall operating model, not just the financial feasibility of individual activities.

The correct answer is A. The Target Operating Model is used to assess how the current organization aligns with the desired future state. This helps identify the gaps that need to be addressed.
