I'm a little confused on this one. Is the key difference that in agile, the BA is working in shorter sprints rather than a single long waterfall project? If so, then yeah, the timing of the analysis work would need to adapt. But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll have to think it through some more.

Okay, let me think this through. In an agile environment, the BA's work is more iterative and responsive to changing requirements. So I'd guess that the timing of the analysis work is the element most impacted, rather than things like scope or technology. I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The change to agile could impact a lot of different elements of the BA's planning and monitoring. I'll have to think through the key differences between waterfall and agile to figure out the best answer.

This looks like a straightforward PROC SORT question. I'll carefully read through the options and think about how the SORT statement works to get the desired output.
