CBAP Exam - Question 261

Question

A large health care provider has recently purchased and installed a solution that automates some of the activities that coordinate patient recovery activities. A business analyst (BA) is in the process of evaluating this solution and analyzing the performance measures against the value it brings. At this juncture, the BA has uncovered some threats in the solution which could hamper its performance and erode the value it brings.

Which technique will enable the BA to record and handle these on an ongoing basis?

Examice · Accepted Answer

To record and handle threats that could erode the value of a solution on an ongoing basis, the appropriate technique is Risk Analysis and Management. This technique is used to identify potential threats, analyze their impact, develop plans to modify those risks, and continuously manage them over time. This ensures that any issues that may arise and affect the performance of the solution are effectively mitigated.

Risk analysis and management is a technique used to uncover potential threats, record and handle them as per organization's preference. The key words here is BA discovers some threats that can negatively impact value of solution so there is a possibility that further unknown threats also exist that need to identified and handled. Further, risk management and analysis is an ongoing activity. (Refer BABOK v3 10.38.1 & 10.38.2)
As per BABOK v3 8.3.3, Solution Performance Analysis are results of the analysis of measurements collected and recommendations to solve for performance gaps and leverage opportunities to improve value. 
As per this definition, Solution Performance Analysis helps to solve for identified performance gaps and is also an ongoing activity, but it does not help uncover new performance gaps or threats.
