Not sure if middle-management is the best level for this.

Surprised that external drivers aren't mentioned more!

Bottom-up approach can miss the bigger picture though.

I think top-down is more effective for identifying problems.

Definitely from middle-management! They see the day-to-day issues.

I vaguely recall that the top-down approach might be more strategic, but I’m not entirely sure how that applies to identifying current state problems.

I feel like external drivers could also highlight problems, but I'm not confident if that's the main focus for a BA.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I leaned towards the middle-management level since they often see the day-to-day issues.

I remember we discussed how identifying problems can happen at various levels, but I'm not sure if it's more effective from the top-down or bottom-up.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Loose coupling means services shouldn't depend on each other, so a shared security policy would create a tight coupling. I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

Wait, is this asking about cash basis accounting or accrual accounting? I'm getting a little confused between the two. I better re-read the question carefully before answering.
