CBAP Exam - Question 350

Question

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 BA is working on identifying additional improvement opportunities based on these requirements.

Which of the following improvement opportunities is reflected in Requirement ID NFP0002?

Examice · Accepted Answer

The requirement ID NFP0002 states that the solution shall load in the browser in under 3 seconds. This directly pertains to improving the system's performance efficiency, as it aims to reduce the time taken to load the solution. Therefore, the improved load time reflects increased efficiency.

Kakashi_Sensei · Answer

The answer is B. Improved load time is increased efficiency

mdadewale · Answer

The answer is D. The requirement is already identified as Performance Efficiency as written in the RTM. The BA is working on identifying ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES based on the requirements in the RTM. So aside from Performance Efficiency, Improved access to information is an additional improvement opportunity that Requirement ID NFP0002 reflects.

I think D (improved) is the right answer.
We always say : "How can the efficiency of a website be improved ?" and not "How can the efficiency of a website be increased ?"

It's just a question of formulation :-)

The answer is D. The requirement is already identified as Performance Efficiency as written in the RTM. The BA is working on identifying ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES based on the requirements in the RTM. So aside from Performance Efficiency, Improved access to information is an additional improvement opportunity that Requirement ID NFP0002 reflects.

B Clearly the right answer. Increased efficiency = improved throughput and system turnaround time.

Rabbitsfoot · Answer

Based on the description provided in the question, which states that "the solution shall load in the browser in under 3 seconds," the focus seems to be on the performance efficiency aspect rather than on access to information (D).

Dave_QA · Answer

There is a difference between "increased" and "improved":
Efficiency signifies a peak level of performance that uses the least amount of inputs to achieve the highest amount of output. Efficiency requires reducing the number of unnecessary resources used to produce a given output including personal time and energy.
