A business analyst (BA) is working on a project that follows incremental and iterative approaches. The BA and the stakeholders have shortlisted several user stories to be considered in the project scope. Which of the following methods would enable them to arrive at a common understanding on delivering value in the product and ranking the stories?
MoSCoW prioritization is the method that enables a business analyst and stakeholders to arrive at a common understanding of delivering value in the product and ranking the stories. This method involves categorizing features or user stories into four priority levels: Must have, Should have, Could have, and Will not have. This approach helps in clearly identifying which user stories are essential for the project's success and which ones can be deferred, ensuring that the product delivers maximum value.
A state model describes: * a set of possible states for an entity, * the sequence of states that the entity can be in, * how an entity changes from one state to another, * the events and conditions that cause the entity to change states, and * the actions that can or must be performed by the entity in each state as it moves through its life cycle. While a process model can show all of the entities that are used in or affected by that process, a state model shows a complementary view: what happens to one entity across all the processes that affect it or use it.
