 A joint application design (JAD) is a technique that helps to validate the requirements with key stakeholders by conducting a structured and collaborative workshop that involves the business analyst, the project team, the end users, and the subject matter experts. A JAD can help to review the requirements for a new application that impacts various business processes, to confirm that the requirements are complete, consistent, and accurate, to resolve any conflicts or issues, and to obtain feedback and approval from the stakeholders. A team review is a technique that helps to evaluate the quality and accuracy of the business analysis deliverables by involving the business analyst and other project team members. A team review can help to identify and correct any errors, gaps, or inconsistencies in the deliverables, but it does not involve the key stakeholders who are affected by the new application. A brainstorming is a technique that helps to generate a large number of ideas or solutions in a short time by encouraging the participants to think creatively and freely. A brainstorming can help to explore different possibilities and perspectives, but it does not validate the requirements with key stakeholders. A product backlog prioritization is a technique that helps to rank the requirements or solution options based on their relative importance, urgency, value, or dependency. A product backlog prioritization can help to determine the optimal scope and sequence of the solution delivery, but it does not validate the requirements with key stakeholders. References: BABOK Guide v3, Chapter 10: Techniques, Section 10.27: Joint Application Design, p. 538-539; Section 10.53: Workshops, p. 570-572; Section 10.7: Brainstorming, p. 503-504; Section 10.38: Prioritization, p. 550-552.

 The BA needs to compare the value and costs of different design options, such as a customized version of the existing software or a fully made to order solution. The potential value is the benefit that the solution will provide to the bank, such as improved efficiency, accuracy, and security. The design options are the alternative ways of meeting the needs and requirements of the bank, such as modifying the existing software or developing a new one. The BA needs to evaluate the trade-offs between the value and costs of each option and recommend the most feasible and desirable one. References:

An activity diagram is a technique that is used to model the dynamic aspects of a system or a domain. It shows the sequence and conditions of the actions (or activities) that are performed by the actors or components involved in a business process or a use case. An activity diagram can also show the inputs, outputs, and resources required for each action, as well as the exceptions and alternative paths that may occur. An activity diagram can help to identify and analyze the business processes that need to be performed and managed in the future state of the solution. References: The answer can be verified from the following sources:
