3 types of Conduct Elicitation - Precise Answer ✔✔1. Collaborative
2. Research
3. Experiments
6 Core Concepts in the BACCM: - Precise Answer ✔✔•Change
•Need
•Solution
•Stakeholder
•Value
•Context
Acceptance - Precise Answer ✔✔The business analysis approach is
reviewed and agreed upon by key stakeholders.
adaptive approaches - Precise Answer ✔✔-focus on rapid delivery of
business value in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher
degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution
-typically favor defining requirements & designs through team
interaction & gathering feedback (the formal documentation comes after
the solution is implemented)
,Assess Requirements Changes (Purpose) - Precise Answer ✔✔page 91
Basis for Prioritization - Precise Answer ✔✔Typical factors that
influence prioritization include: Benefit, Penalty, Cost, Risk, etc.
Business Analysis Activities - Precise Answer ✔✔•identify the activities
required to complete each deliverable, then breaking each activity into
tasks
•dividing the work into iterations, identifying the deliverables for each
iteration, and then identifying the associated activities and tasks
•using a previous similar initiative as an outline and applying the
detailed tasks and activities unique to the current initiative.
Business analysts may also prepare stakeholders by? - Precise Answer
✔✔requesting that they review supporting materials prior to the
elicitation activity in order to make it as effective as possible.
Capture Elicitation Outcomes - Precise Answer ✔✔Capturing the
elicitation outcomes helps to ensure that the information produced
during elicitation activities is recorded for later reference and use.
Challenges of Prioritization - Precise Answer ✔✔Prioritization is an
assessment of relative value. Each stakeholder may value something
different. When this occurs, there may be conflict amongst stakeholders.
Stakeholders may also have difficulty characterizing any requirement as
a lower priority, and this may impact the ability to make necessary trade-
, offs. In addition, stakeholders may (intentionally or unintentionally)
indicate priority to influence the result to their desired outcome.
Change - Precise Answer ✔✔The act of transformation in response to a
need.
Collaboration - Precise Answer ✔✔Collaboration involves regular,
frequent, and bi-directional communication. Collaborative relationships
help maintain the free flow of information when obstacles and setbacks
occur, and promote a shared effort to resolve problems and achieve
desired outcomes
Collaborative - Precise Answer ✔✔involves direct interaction with
stakeholders, and relies on their experiences, expertise, and judgment.
Communicate Business Analysis Information (Description) - Precise
Answer ✔✔Business analysts must communicate appropriate
information to stakeholders at the right time and in formats that meet
their needs. Communication of business analysis information is bi-
directional and iterative. It involves determining the recipients, content,
purpose, context, and expected outcomes. Communicating information
does not simply involve pushing information out and assuming it was
received and understood. Business analysts engage stakeholders to
ensure they understand the information and gain agreement.
