Question 61

You are working with several business analysts to determine the solution approach for an identified problem.

All of the following techniques are acceptable for identifying the solution approach except for which one?

    Correct Answer: C

    Benchmarking, decision analysis, and brainstorming are commonly used techniques for identifying and developing solution approaches to a problem. Benchmarking involves comparing practices or processes to industry standards or best practices. Decision analysis helps in evaluating various options based on specific criteria to make informed choices. Brainstorming is a collaborative technique used to generate creative ideas and possible solutions. Risk analysis, on the other hand, is primarily used to identify potential risks and evaluate their impact, which is more about assessing potential issues rather than determining potential solutions. Therefore, risk analysis is not typically used as an initial step in identifying a solution approach.

Discussion
b9adaf1Option: C

Determine solution approach is not a Task in Babok v3. Is it the equivalent of Determine Change Strategy? If yes, then C is indeed the right answer.

subyottunOption: C

I think Risk analysis in this context would help in selecting the best solution to recommend after several solution approaches have been determined already.

angela111Option: C

If put in reality, why "risk analysis" is not included in determining solutions approach?

BABOK V3.0, 7.5.4, page 154, point 1 is descriping Solution Approaches, so check 7.5.6 in page 155 and 156, you can find the Techniques.

They are all techniques but Risk Analysis is an activity to identify risks so C is the answer
