CCBA Exam Dumps - Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA)

 According to the BABOK® Guide, requirements are defined as “a usable representation of a need” that specifies what a stakeholder requires from a solution. Requirements are derived from the stakeholders’ needs, wants, and expectations, which are the underlying problems or opportunities that the stakeholders wish to address. Therefore, option A best describes how requirements are defined. References: BABOK® Guide, page 10; Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, section “What Should I know to be CCBA Certified?”

According to the BABOK® Guide, an implementation constraint is a restriction or limitation that affects the execution or operation of a solution. Examples of implementation constraints include freeze periods, company policies, business cycle timings, regulatory requirements, and technical standards. Weather is not an implementation constraint because it does not affect the solution itself, but rather the external environment in which the solution operates. References: BABOK® Guide, page 31; Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, section “What Should I know to be CCBA Certified?”

A plan-driven approach to business analysis planning and monitoring is a method that defines and documents the business analysis activities and deliverables in advance, and follows a predefined process for executing and controlling them. A plan-driven approach is suitable for projects that have a clear and stable scope, low uncertainty, and high predictability. A plan-driven approach typically requires a significant amount of formality and detail, such as formal approval of requirements, detailed documentation of business analysis artifacts, and rigorous change management procedures. References: The plan-driven approach to business analysis planning and monitoring is discussed in the BABOK Guide, version 3, under the section 3.1 Plan Business Analysis Approach1. The CCBA Certification Study Guide, version 3, also covers this topic under the chapter 4 Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring2. Additionally, the CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, 2nd Edition provides a detailed comparison of plan-driven and change-driven approaches to business analysis

According to the BABOK® Guide, the level of abstraction is the degree to which a requirement or design statement is general or specific. Requirements need to say what needs to be done, not how to do it. This means that requirements should focus on the desired outcome or value, not the implementation details or solution design. How to do it is the responsibility of the solution provider, not the business analyst. Therefore, option C completes the sentence correctly. References: BABOK® Guide, page 11; Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, section “What Should I know to be CCBA Certified?”

 Benchmarking is a technique that compares the performance or quality of a product, service, or process against a standard or best practice. Benchmarking can be used to identify gaps, opportunities, and areas for improvement. Benchmarking is one of the tools and techniques of the Assess Capability Gaps task, which is part of the Strategy Analysis knowledge area. Benchmarking is different from a stress test, which is a type of testing that evaluates the behavior of a system under extreme conditions. A feasibility study is an analysis that evaluates the viability of a proposed solution or alternative. Alternative identification is a technique that generates and evaluates different options to achieve a desired outcome. References: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, CERTIFICATION OF CAPABILITY IN BUSINESS ANALYSIS, CCBA® and CBAP® Certifications Study Guide

 In the context of project risks, particularly for the implementation of a new web portal, the potential inadequacy of the current infrastructure to support increased performance is a significant concern. This is because if the infrastructure is not capable of handling the enhanced demands of the new system, it could lead to performance issues, system downtime, or even failure, which would negatively impact the project’s success.

References: The CCBA® certification emphasizes the importance of identifying and evaluating opportunities for better business outcomes, which includes assessing risks that could hinder these outcomes123. The IIBA’s BABOK® Guide is a key resource for understanding the tasks and techniques associated with business analysis, including risk assessment4.

Stakeholder analysis is a technique to identify the stakeholders who have an interest or influence on the project, and to determine their needs, expectations, and level of involvement. Stakeholder analysis is critical for communications planning, as it helps to tailor the communication content, frequency, and format to suit the preferences and requirements of each stakeholder group. Stakeholder analysis also helps to identify potential risks, issues, and conflicts that may arise from different stakeholder perspectives and expectations. Stakeholder analysis is usually performed at the beginning of the project and updated throughout the project lifecycle as new stakeholders emerge or existing ones change their roles or interests. References:

 Policies and rules serve as boundaries and constraints for the organization and the operation of the organization. Policies and rules are external or internal factors that limit the options or actions available to the organization. They can be formal or informal, explicit or implicit, and can originate from various sources, such as laws, regulations, standards, contracts, agreements, policies, procedures, guidelines, or best practices. Policies and rules are one of the elements of the Business Analysis Core Concept Model™ (BACCM™), which describes the fundamental concepts that are important for business analysis. Policies and rules are also one of the inputs to the Define Business Need task, which is part of the Strategy Analysis knowledge area. Policies and rules help to define the problem or opportunity that the organization faces and the desired outcomes that the solution should achieve. References: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, CERTIFICATION OF CAPABILITY IN BUSINESS ANALYSIS, [Business Analysis Core Concept Model™ (BACCM™) | IIBA®]
