Discuss Salesforce Salesforce Certified Business Analyst (BA-201) Exam Topic 3 Question 53

A new business analyst (BA) Just started working at Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO). The BA has been tasked with Implementing Service Cloud for NTO's Internal support team.

Which information should the BA gather during the Initial discovery meeting?

AContact information for key stakeholders

BEmployee review cycle for the support team

CLimitations of the current support process

Suggested Answer: C

This answer states that enabling history in the shared spreadsheet is what the BA should recommend to ensure UAT results are documented securely after receiving verbal acceptance of all user stories by the product owner for developing a new Commerce Cloud implementation at CK. History is a feature that allows users to view, restore, or compare previous versions of a document or a file. Enabling history in the shared spreadsheet means that the BA turns on this feature in the spreadsheet where user stories are stored, such as Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, etc. Enabling history in the shared spreadsheet is what the BA should recommend to ensure UAT results are documented securely because it helps the BA to track and record who made what changes to user stories and when, and to prevent or recover any accidental or unauthorized changes to user stories.

I'm feeling a bit confused on this one. There are a few different things the BA could focus on gathering initially. I'll need to review the details of the question again and think through the most important information to collect upfront.

Okay, for this type of implementation project, I'd definitely want to get details on the contact info for key stakeholders. That's going to be crucial for understanding the requirements and getting buy-in. The current process limitations are also important to identify areas for improvement.
