Question 342

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 evaluated to help determine value of the project?

    Correct Answer: D

    The business analyst has analyzed the current state by taking a broad view of the business to understand how the company is currently providing value to its customer base. This process aligns with evaluating the business architecture, which involves understanding how different elements of the current state, such as organizational structure, capabilities, information, and end-to-end value delivery, fit together and support each other. By assessing the business architecture, the BA can determine whether the proposed changes will meet the business and stakeholder needs and continue to deliver value.

Option D - No part of the current state should be assessed in complete isolation from the rest. Business analysts must understand how all of these elements of the current state fit together and support one another in order to recommend changes that will be effective. The existing business architecture typically meets an assortment of business and stakeholder needs. If those needs are not recognized or do not continue to be met by a proposed transition or future state, changes are likely to result in a loss of value. The keyword here is 'Value".

Business architecture is correct as it helps BA understand how all of the elements of the current state fit together and support one another in order to recommend changes that will be effective. BABOK v3 6.1.4.6 Internal assets is not correct because it identifies enterprise assets used in current state (BABOK v3 6.1.4.7, not the value of the project.
