Question 341

A software development company is in the process of creating a new product for their customer base. It has been several years since such a project has been initiated and the organization has created a new team to own and develop the product. The project team will be evaluated by the successful adoption of the product, which will be developed over the next 12 months.

The team's business analyst (BA) has analyzed the current state in partnership with the product owner and has been meeting with senior management to identify the goals that need to be attained. A broad view of the business has been analyzed in order to have an understanding of how the company is currently providing value to its customer base.

What has the BA been identifying that will be used to evaluate the solution?

    Correct Answer: C

    In the context provided, the BA has been working in collaboration with senior management to identify the goals that need to be attained and analyzing the current state to understand how the company provides value to its customer base. This effort is directed toward evaluating the solution and the team's performance. Success measures are the metrics or criteria that will ultimately be used to evaluate the effectiveness and adoption of the solution once it is developed. Hence, identifying success measures is crucial to determine if the solution meets its intended goals and the adoption criteria set by the organization.

Discussion
rupakarthikOption: A

Ans -A The definition of business needs is frequently the most critical step in any business analysis effort. A solution must satisfy the business needs to be considered successful. The way the need is defined determines which alternative solutions will be considered, which stakeholders will be consulted, and which solution approaches will be evaluated. Business needs are always expressed from the perspective of the enterprise, and not that of any particular stakeholder. Business needs are often identified or expressed along with a presumed solution.

ChykaOption: D

Solutions limitation is assessed

DFU

There is no solution at this point. The business needs that the proposed solution should satisfy must first be identified

QualmsOption: A

Option A - Business needs - the problems and opportunities of strategic importance faced by the enterprise. An issue encountered in the organization, such as a customer complaint, a loss of revenue, or a new market opportunity, usually triggers the evaluation of a business need. That's why the need (goals) was used as an input to assessing the current state.

Qualms

Babok v3, page 104

comb005Option: D

Answer is D. Babok v3, section 6.1.5: Solution Limitation: used to understand the current state and the challenges of existing solutions

NickManeOption: A

...Solution evaluation determines how well a solution meets the business needs expressed by stakeholders, including delivering value to the customer. - Business needs, A) is correct

NickMane

I was wrong, this is Solution evaluation according to BABOK, so Solution limitations is output, so D)

GilismOption: A

Do you use Solution limitation of current state to evaluate the solution (of future state)? Option "A" seems to be the right answer.

xiaoyangwuOption: C

D is not correct, as the task 8.3 (assess solution limitations) is about the solution which already launched, but in this case, the solution will be developed over the next 12 months. But the measure can be defined (task 8.1) before the solution launched, and the measure will be used to evaluate the solution. So I think "C Success measures" is the correct answer.

TochTochOption: A

The question mentions that the BA has been meeting with senior management to identify the goals that need to be attained. Goals that need to be attained is the same as Business needs.

Ray81Option: C

Looking at this statement: "The project team will be evaluated by the successful adoption of the product", I believe the answer is C - Success Measures

Farooq_95Option: C

Success measures are metrics or criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness and success of a solution. In this scenario, the BA has been meeting with senior management to identify goals and analyzing the current state to understand how the company provides value to its customer base. While identifying business needs is an important aspect of the business analysis process, in this scenario, the focus is on evaluating the solution and the team's performance rather than solely identifying the underlying business needs. In the context of the scenario provided, solution requirements is also not correct as the emphasis is on evaluating the solution and the team's performance rather than solely on defining solution requirements.

RabbitsfootOption: C

While business needs are indeed important for understanding the problems and opportunities faced by the enterprise, in this scenario, the emphasis is on identifying the criteria for evaluating the success of the solution being developed.

[Removed]Option: A

To measure Solution Performance, we need Business Objectives as input. I think the right option is A.

Yoli22_Option: A

Ans - A or B The solution is not in use - so its not Solution Evaluation Task although Current State Description is an input for this task. This KA is strategy analysis as we are applying the capabilities of an enterprise in order to reach a desired set of goals and objectives; task is Analyse Current State with needs and elicited results as the inputs.
