Exam CBAP topic 1 question 398 discussion

Actual exam question from IIBA's CBAP
Question #: 398
Topic #: 1
[All CBAP Questions]

Company A is a nation-wide leader in commercial demolition. Having just celebrated its 100th year of operations, the company decided to begin doing work internationally. The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations. Therefore, the company decided to replace its client-based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. This will ensure transparency across the organization and enable better decision making.
The business analyst (BA) at Company A has recently completed several rounds of elicitation to determine the requirements for the new, web-based system. Over
1250 requirements were elicited. An initial Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) has been drafted, and a subset of the RTM can be seen below:

The risk associated with Requirement ID F-P0001 is HIGH. The BA has gone back to the Crew Chief to determine why this requirement's risk is HIGH. The Crew
Chief stated that it was based on an assumption.
Which of the following assumptions would make this requirement's risk high?

  • A. The users will require specialized training.
  • B. The web-based interface will be complex.
  • C. The system will be inaccessible in remote locations.
  • D. The cost of the solution outweighs its benefit.

Option C. The scenario says "The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations." The crew chief stated that the reason for the high risk classification is based on an assumption. Best answer is C - the location is the issue. The crew chief's location may impact on the timely entry of the project status.

Correct answer is C. The only reason that makes the requirement F-P0001 a high-risk requirement is system's inaccessibility in remote locations because in that case, Crew chief would be unable to enter the project status. Other options do not make the requirement F-P0001 a high-risk requirement. (They pose high risk to other requirements as well)

Selected Answer: C
This assumption suggests a potential constraint or limitation that could significantly impact the usability and effectiveness of the solution, particularly for users operating in remote locations. If the crew chief assumes that the system will not be accessible in remote areas where the company plans to expand its operations, it could pose a significant risk to the success of the project and the satisfaction of end-users.

Since the requirements elicited that says high risk is for future state, remote locations can't be risk as the company decided to replace its client-based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. The risk should be dealing with application interface which may be complex for the users, an assumption.

Selected Answer: C
When assessing a risk, there will be uncertainty in the likelihood of it occurring, and the impact if it does occur. The keyword is "uncertainty". For A, B, D, the training, the interface, the cost, all can be controlled. These are not risks.

I think two options are possible: B - because the company will develop a web-based system and interface can be complex. This assumption is more related to functional requirements then system accessibility. C- the company is going to work in geographically dispersed locations. However, it is difficult to imagine how a web application can be inaccessible and doesn't allow to set project status. It is not a real-time operation.

Agree with Answer C. If the crew chief is unavailable, it is a risk that project status will be pending in several locations. Best answer so far. Nothing to do with the cost of the solution
