Which one of the following terms is not a business analysis planning and monitoring approach?
Requirements elicitation is not a business analysis planning and monitoring approach, but a business analysis elicitation and collaboration approach. Requirements elicitation is the process of identifying and obtaining the information needed from the stakeholders and other sources to define and validate the requirements.It involves using various techniques, such as interviews, workshops, surveys, observation, prototyping, etc., to elicit the needs, expectations, assumptions, and constraints of the stakeholders12
The business analysis planning and monitoring approach is the methodology and process that will be used to conduct business analysis activities and deliver business analysis outputs. It involves defining the scope, objectives, deliverables, roles, responsibilities, tasks, schedule, budget, quality, risk, and communication of the business analysis work.It also involves monitoring and controlling the business analysis performance and reporting the progress and issues to the stakeholders34
The other options are examples of business analysis planning and monitoring approaches:
Structured walkthroughs: This is a technique that is used to validate and verify the business analysis approach, not to define and document it. Structured walkthroughs involve presenting and reviewing the business analysis approach with the stakeholders, and soliciting their feedback and approval. It helps to ensure the quality, completeness, and alignment of the business analysis approach with the stakeholder needs and expectations.
Decision analysis: This is a technique that is used to evaluate and select the business analysis approach, not to define and document it. Decision analysis involves comparing the costs, benefits, risks, and impacts of the alternative business analysis approaches, and choosing the one that best meets the project objectives and stakeholder preferences. It helps to justify and rationalize the business analysis approach to the stakeholders, and to document the decision criteria and rationale.
Process modeling: This is a technique that is used to define and document the business analysis approach. Process modeling involves creating a graphical representation of the business analysis activities, tasks, inputs, outputs, roles, and responsibilities. It helps to communicate and visualize the business analysis approach to the stakeholders, and to identify and manage the dependencies, risks, and issues. Process modeling can be done using various tools and notations, such as flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, BPMN, UML, etc.

Which approach is best to take when a business analyst is assessing the solution options for a business need when there are relatively few criteria involved?
When there are relatively few criteria involved in assessing the solution options, it is best to focus on the differences of the solutions, as they are likely to have the most impact on the decision. Focusing on the commonalities, the life cycle costs, or the implementation costs may not provide enough information to distinguish the solutions and select the best one for the business need.Reference:BABOK Guide v3, section 10.4.3.2;CCBA Handbook, section 5.4.4.3.
After a number of requirements elicitation workshops, the business analyst (BA) notices that two business stakeholders did not speak up during any of the discussions. What should the BA do in the next workshop?
The BA should ask all attendees for their input, ensuring that each stakeholder is given time to speak and provide their opinion in the next workshop. This will help to encourage participation and engagement from all stakeholders, especially those who did not speak up during previous discussions. It will also help to elicit diverse perspectives and feedback on the requirements from different stakeholders.The BA should use facilitation skills such as active listening, questioning, paraphrasing, summarizing, etc., to create a positive and collaborative environment for stakeholder interaction4.Reference:4: BABOK Guide v3, Section 4.4
An organization is engaged in an effort to streamline the online customer experience. The business analyst (BA) prepares a business analysis information package to discuss the changes the customer will experience. Which one of the following tools will assist the BA in this discussion?
The scenario describes a task that involves preparing a business analysis information package to discuss the changes in the online customer experience. The information package is a part of the solution evaluation knowledge area, which is one of the six knowledge areas covered by the CCBA certification.According to the CCBA Handbook and the IIBA website, a visual prototype is one of the tools that can assist the BA in this discussion, as it provides a realistic representation of the solution and its features, functions, and interfaces12.A visual prototype can also help to elicit feedback, validate requirements, and assess the value and usability of the solution12.
A business analyst (BA) has elicited the following requirement; "The solution must ensure the portal response times are under 2 seconds." What requirement classification schema does this requirement belong to?
The requirement classification schema that this requirement belongs to is nonfunctional requirements. Nonfunctional requirements are statements of conditions or restrictions on a solution or its components that affect its quality, performance, usability, reliability, security, etc. Nonfunctional requirements specify how well a solution should perform or behave.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option B is incorrect because stakeholder requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Stakeholder requirements are statements of needs, expectations, preferences, or problems of stakeholders or an organization.
Option C is incorrect because transitional requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Transitional requirements are statements of capabilities or conditions that enable a solution to transition from its current state to its desired future state.
Option D is incorrect because functional requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Functional requirements are statements of features, functions, or behaviors of a solution or its components that enable it to provide value to stakeholders.
