Selected Answer: B
There are two key phrases: "Analyzed current state" and "how the company is currently providing value". It means that BA performs 'Analyze Current State' task. Then in the 6.0 Description "When performing strategy analysis, business analysts must consider the context in which they are working, and how predictable the range of possible outcomes is. When a change will have a predictable outcome, the future state and possible transition states can typically be clearly defined, and a clear strategy can be planned out. If the outcome of a change is difficult to predict, the strategy may need to focus more on mitigating risk, testing assumptions, and changing course until a strategy that will succeed in reaching the business goals can be identified or until the initiative has ended." I think deliverables are synonyms of outcomes.

At this point, the BA should be presenting the future state. According to BABOK Pg 111 "Describing the future state allows stakeholders to understand the potential value that can be realized from a solution, which van be used as part of the decision making process regarding change strategy". From the above, the answer should be D

Correct answer is B. (Project deliverables) Current state analysis has been done It is time now to talk about the futur requirements and needs, what should you deliver for. Wrong A : Timeline project is too early Wrong C : Resource staffing will take place during and after the project Wrong D : Again, to know the potential benefits of a solution, you should do a decision analysis, means you should know the futur state.

B. Project deliverables. This is a strategy analysis task. The problem states that a current state analysis has been performed after meeting with stakeholders to understand the needs of the business. The output is business requirements and current state description. Business Requirements is the problem, opportunity, or constraint which is defined based on an understanding of the current state. Hence, since the business requirement is project deliverables. Babok, page 110
