Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

The step of the application lifecycle management (ALM) cycle that requires the business analyst to study current business processes, gather requirements, and analyze them is plan. ALM is a process that helps manage changes to an application from planning to deployment and beyond. ALM has six steps: plan, develop, test, build release, test release, and release. The plan step is where the business analyst studies current business processes, gathers requirements, and analyzes them to understand what needs to be changed or improved in an application. The plan step also involves defining objectives, scope, budget, timeline, deliverables, roles and responsibilities for a project. The develop step is where developers create or modify code or declarative components based on the requirements gathered in the plan step. The test step is where testers verify that the code or declarative components work as expected and meet quality standards using various testing techniques and tools. The build release step is where developers package all code or declarative components into a release that can be deployed to other environments using various deployment techniques and tools. The test release step is where end users test the release in a sandbox or test environment to verify that it works as intended, and what was originally requested is actually being delivered. The release step is where the release is deployed to production and made available to end users.

Question No. 2

The business analyst (BA) at Cloud Kicks is having a hard time documenting a user story to change an existing Opportunity flow for sales users. The architect expressed their concerns to the BA that they lack a comprehensive list of the components that will be affected by the updated flow.

Which best practice should the BA follow?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The best practice that the BA should follow is to schedule additional discovery sessions with the sales users to understand what will be impacted by the changes. Discovery sessions are meetings or workshops where the BA elicits, clarifies, and validates the needs, expectations, pain points, goals, and priorities of the stakeholders for a project. Discovery sessions help to gather more information and feedback from the stakeholders, understand their perspectives and preferences, identify the gaps and opportunities in their current process, and demonstrate the value and benefits of the proposed solution. By scheduling additional discovery sessions with the sales users, the BA can better understand their challenges and requirements, and document a comprehensive list of the components that will be affected by the updated flow.

Question No. 3

The business analyst (BA) at Universal Containers is responsible for defining the enhancement features for the current Salesforce CPQ implementation that must be configured in the next phase of the project.

Which type of document should the BA create to achieve the objective?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

A functional requirements specification (FRS) is a document that defines what features and functions a system should provide to meet the business needs and objectives. It describes how users will interact with the system and what outcomes they expect from it. An FRS typically includes use cases, user stories, acceptance criteria, data models, business rules, workflows, diagrams, mockups, and other details that describe how the system should work. A BA should create an FRS to define the enhancement features for the current Salesforce CPQ implementation that must be configured in the next phase of the project.

Question No. 4

Support managers at Cloud Kicks have received urgent feedback from staff that record pages are slow to respond and users and growing frustrated. The business analyst (BA) has been asked to evaluate to determine which pages are being accessed most frequently and which pages are the slowest to load.

What is the first step the BA should take to help resolve the issue?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The first step that the business analyst should take to help resolve the issue is to confirm steps to reproduce the issue. Reproducing an issue means following the same steps or actions that caused the issue to occur in order to verify its existence and severity. Reproducing an issue helps to confirm whether it is a real bug or a human error, as well as gather more information about its root cause, impact, frequency, etc. Reproducing an issue also helps to document it clearly and accurately for reporting and resolution purposes.

Question No. 5

The VP of sales at Clod Kicks wants to streamline the lead qualification process to improve the team's productivity and help them reach their target goals. A business analyst (BA) has been assigned to the project to identify the disconnect between the sales and marketing teams' definition of a qualified lead?

What should the BA focus on?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The business analyst should focus on scheduling an all-day collaboration workshop with both teams to resolve their differences around contact management for a new Salesforce implementation. A collaboration workshop is a technique to bring together different stakeholders to share information, discuss issues, generate ideas, make decisions, or reach consensus on a topic or problem. Scheduling an all-day collaboration workshop with both teams can help identify their needs, expectations, pain points, goals, and priorities around contact management and find common ground or alignment among them.Mapping historical lead data from each team and building charts to highlight similarities is not a good option because it would not address the disconnect between the sales and marketing teams' definition of a qualified lead, which is related to contact management, not lead management. Evaluating team' skill and experience to determine how they can better align is not a good option because it would not address the disconnect between the sales and marketing teams' definition of a qualified lead, which is related to contact management, not skill or experience.
