CBAP Exam - Question 116


As part of the requirements analysis a business analyst can use the same tools and techniques to model the current state of an organization.

All of the following are valid reasons why would a business analyst want to create a current state domain model except for which one?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The current state model is primarily used for understanding the current operations, identifying opportunities for improvement, validating the solution scope with stakeholders, and assisting stakeholders in understanding the current state. Creating Pareto charts for process improvement is not a direct use of a current state model. Pareto charts are specific analytical tools used to prioritize issues, but they are not inherently part of documenting or understanding the current state of an organization.

Pareto charts are a specific type of graphical analysis tool used to prioritize and identify the most significant factors contributing to a problem or issue. While they can be valuable for analyzing and visualizing data related to process improvement initiatives, creating Pareto charts is not a direct function of a current state domain model. BABOK v3 6.1.1 defines purpose of Analyze Current State as to understand the reasons why an enterprise needs to change some aspect of how it operates and what would be directly or indirectly affected by the change. All of the other options align with "Why" part of analyze current state.
