Exam CBAP topic 1 question 345 discussion

The correct answer here is Root cause analysis because the solution has been in operation for 3month. Risk analysis is used if the solution is yet to be implemented. It is a proactive measure while RCA is a reactive measure.

Answer A. is correct: BABOK v3 8.1.6 • Risk Analysis and Management: used to identify, analyze, and manage risks, as they relate to the solution and its potential limitations, that may impede the realization of potential value.

Root Cause Analysis is used to identify the underlying reasons for problems or defects in a solution. In this scenario, the BA needs to determine why the corporate-wide database is producing invalid outputs. This technique helps trace problems back to their source, enabling the team to address the core issues rather than just the symptoms.

The answer is B. Root cause analysis

The purpose of Assess Solution Limitations is to determine the factors internal to the solution that restrict the full realization of value. 8.3.2 Description Assessing solution limitations identifies the root causes for under-performing and ineffective solutions and solution components. Assess Solution Limitations is closely linked to the task Assess Enterprise Limitations (p. 177). These tasks may be performed concurrently. If the solution

In the question, the BA already did the RCA, so it's not B. Answer A. is correct: BABOK v3 8.1.6 • Risk Analysis and Management: used to identify, analyze, and manage risks, as they relate to the solution and its potential limitations, that may impede the realization of potential value.

Section 8.3.6 Risk analysis and management is correct answer. Root cause analysis is about finding underlying causes that led to the solution being unable to deliver it's potential value. This question is about not achieving full potential value

Yes, its root cause analysis and its a reactive measure unlike the risk analysis, which is a proactive measure.

find the root cause of the defect

Root Cause Analysis: used to identify and understand the combination of factors and their underlying causes that led to the solution being unable to deliver its potential value.

Ans. B Root Cause Analysis. Already the BA has used ACCEPTANCE AND EVALUATION CRITERIA to find several instances where the outputs from the solution are below par and the question now asks; What technique should the BA use to identify the solution limitation(i.e. poor quality outputs from the solution). Now you carry out problem analysis AKA Root cause analysis to identify the underlying causes that lead to the solution not being able to realize its potential value. Remember, the BA can apply a combination of techniques to IDENTIFY and INVESTIGATE the solution limitations. BABOK V.3 8.3.4

BABOK PG 176

All of the options are techniques of the task Assess Solution Limitations, however the questions states a key phrase "Acceptable level of quality"

B : Root Cause Analysis used to identify and understand the combination of factors and their underlying causes that led to the solution being unable to deliver its potential value. under the solution limitation(solution Evaluation KA)

Why not acceptance criteria. The solution is performing below an acceptable quality. Acceptance criteria helps identify any criteria not.met by solution.

Answer B- Pg 173- Description- first sentence. Assessing solution limitations identifies the root causes for under-performing and ineffective solutions and solution components.

In addition to identified problems, business analysts assess risks to the solution and potential limitations of the solution. This risk assessment is specific to the solution and its limitations. Answer A. is correct: BABOK v3 8.1.6 • Risk Analysis and Management: used to identify, analyze, and manage risks, as they relate to the solution and its potential limitations, that may impede the realization of potential value.
