Topic #: 1
[All CBAP Questions]

An organization is trying to streamline its current processes to improve performance and reduce costs. A business analyst (BA) conducted a process improvement workshop and identified the following issues as the top three items to be addressed:
1. There are multiple teams to define systems, functionality, and content. In many instances multiple teams are defining the same functionalities while other functionalities are not being defined at all, leading to unclear understanding of business requirements.
2. Product specification forms are published each year. A comparison tool is used to evaluate specification between yearly releases, but does not adequately identify changes between versions and needs to be improved.
3. Training consists of a new team member shadowing a seasoned team member. There are not written training materials for formal training sources therefore training is inconsistent and not meeting the needs of the organization.
What approach would help the BA to understand the functionality definition issues?

  • A. Business Analysis Communication Plan
  • B. Business Analysis Performance Assessment
  • C. Risk Register
  • D. Requirements Traceability Repository

I think this should be D. Requirements traceability identifies and documents the lineage of each requirement, including its backward traceability, its forward traceability, and its relationship to other requirements. Traceability is used to help ensure that the solution conforms to requirements and to assist in scope, change, risk, time, cost, and communication management. It is also used to detect missing functionality or to identify if there is implemented functionality that is not supported by any requirement.

Selected Answer: B
To understand the functionality definition issues, the Business Analysis Performance Assessment approach would help the BA identify how well the current business analysis processes are performing in terms of defining systems, functionality, and content. This assessment can uncover the reasons why multiple teams are defining the same functionalities or why some functionalities are not defined at all, leading to unclear business requirements. By evaluating the performance of the current process, the BA can pinpoint where improvements are necessary.

Selected Answer: D
The Requirements Traceability Repository supports the BA in tracking dependencies and relationships between requirements, detecting issues such as redundancy (e.g., multiple teams defining the same functionalities), and ensuring that all necessary requirements are defined and properly implemented. This approach helps in managing complexity and providing clarity in business requirements, which addresses the functionality definition issues in the scenario.

The approach that would help the BA to understand the functionality definition issues is to use a requirements traceability repository, as this is a technique that helps to track the origin, dependencies, and relationships of the requirements throughout the business analysis process. A requirements traceability repository can help the BA to identify the sources, owners, and stakeholders of the requirements, as well as the changes, impacts, and risks associated with them. By using a requirements traceability repository, the BA can avoid duplication, inconsistency, and ambiguity in the functionality definition, and ensure that the requirements are aligned with the business needs and objectives
