Correct Answer: D

The purpose of assessing proposed solutions is to determine how closely they meet stakeholder and solution requirements. The business analyst, while assessing a single solution, determines whether the solution delivers enough business value to justify its implementation. However, the business analyst has the additional goal of attempting to determine which solution delivers the greatest business value while assessing multiple alternative solutions. Answer: A is incorrect. Solution assessment isn't concerned with the value of the solution. Answer: B is incorrect. Solution assessment isn't concerned with the quality, but with the accuracy of the solution in light of the stakeholders' requirements. Answer: C is incorrect. Solution assessment isn't concerned with the costs, but with the accuracy of the solution in light of the stakeholders' requirements.

Correct Answer: A

Organizational process assets describe the organizational policies, procedures, forms, and methodologies

the business analyst is to follow.

Answer: C is incorrect. The business need describes business requirements, solution scope, and solution

requirements.

Answer: B is incorrect. The enterprise architecture describes the relationship among the organizational

units and how the organizational units act with one another.

Answer: D is incorrect. A matrix structure is not one of the three inputs to the business analysis process.

Correct Answer: D

Requirements that do not add direct or indirect value need to be removed from the requirements set. Answer: B is incorrect. It's not best to justify the existence of requirements; requirements must contribute to the business need or solution. Answer: A is incorrect. If the requirements do not add some type of value, then you don't need to determine the purpose of the requirements. This answer isn't valid. Answer: C is incorrect. If the requirements were integrated or linked to other requirements, then it would already be evident that the requirements offer an indirect value to the requirements, solution, or stakeholders.

Correct Answer: A

The best choice is to do at least one assessment or multiple assessments to compare the solutions. Answer: D is incorrect. There can be multiple solutions to a business need, so the business analyst may need to perform multiple assessments. Answer: C is incorrect. There's not a restriction of just one assessment per solution, as multiple assessments can be completed. Answer: B is incorrect. In the assessment, the business analyst may determine that some solutions are better than others and remove one or more possible solutions. The remaining solutions can then have iterations of assessments.

Correct Answer: C

The starting point for any change is an understanding of why the change is needed. Potential change is triggered by problems or opportunities that cannot be addressed without altering the current state. Business analysts work to help stakeholders enable change by exploring and articulating the business needs that drive the desire to change. Without clearly understood business needs, it is impossible to develop a coherent strategy, and the resulting change initiative is almost certain to be driven by a mix of conflicting stakeholder demands.

Change always occurs in a context of existing stakeholders, processes, technology, and policies which constitute the current state of the enterprise. Business analysts examine the current state in the context of the business need to understand what may influence proposed changes, and what will be affected by them. The current state is explored in just enough detail to validate the need for a change and/or the change strategy. Understanding the current state of the enterprise prior to the change is necessary to identify what will need to change to achieve a desired future state and how the effect of the change will be assessed.
