Question 98

You are the business analyst for your organization. You are currently working with Susan on creating a model as part of the specify and model requirements process. Susan doesn't understand why you need a model. You explain to Susan that a model is just a simplified representation of a complex reality that is useful for understanding that reality and making decisions regarding it. In fact, you tell Susan, model can do all of the following except one option.

Choose the option that model cannot do?

    Correct Answer: A

    A model is a simplified representation of a complex reality that aids in understanding and decision-making. It can describe situations or problems, define boundaries for the business domain, and describe thought processes and action flows. However, defining the resources needed for a project team is typically outside the scope of what a model is designed to do. Resource allocation is usually determined by project requirements, budget, organizational policies, and resource availability rather than being addressed by the model itself.

Discussion
Farooq_95Option: A

"BABOK v3 7.1.4.1 describes model as a descriptive and visual way to convey information to a specific audience in order to support analysis, communication, and understanding. Models may also be used to confirm knowledge, identify information gaps that the business analyst may have, and identify duplicate information. So model can do all of mentioned tasks except defining resources because resource allocation and team composition are typically determined based on factors such as project requirements, budget constraints, organizational policies, and resource availability, rather than being directly addressed within a model itself."

Wlkkkk

all are strengths of process model, babok v3 p322.
