A business analyst (BA) has been given a defect during user acceptance testing. After analyzing the defect, the BA determines it is a change in the requirement.
What does the BA need to do to assess the change?
Company A is a nation-wide leader in commercial demolition. Having just celebrated its 100th year of operations, the company decided to begin doing work internationally. The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations. Therefore, the company decided to replace its client-based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. This will ensure transparency across the organization and enable better decision making.
The business analyst (BA) at Company A has recently completed several rounds of elicitation to determine the requirements for the new, web-based system. Over 1250 requirements were elicited. An initial Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) has been drafted, and a subset of the RTM can be seen below:
The BA will create a Data Model to meet which requirement?
The BA is analyzing the requirements that are represented in the Class Diagram. In addition to the diagram, the BA would like to include a separate document that has the information about the data elements to ensure a common understanding of the classes' attributes. What technique is used to define the data elements?
An organization is trying to streamline its current processes to improve performance and reduce costs. A business analyst (BA) conducted a process improvement workshop and identified the following issues as the top three items to be addressed:
1: There are multiple teams to define systems, functionality, and content, in many instances, multiple teams are defining the same Functionalities while other functionalities are not being defined at all. leading to unclear understanding of business requirements
2: Product specification forms are published each year. A comparison tool is used to evaluate specification differences between yearly releases; but does not adequately identify changes between versions and needs to be improved.
3: Training consists of a new team member shadowing a seasoned team member. There are no written training materials or formal training sources therefore training is inconsistent and not meeting the needs of the organization.
The BA learns that formal training programs are not often devised for teams as small and diverse as this team, but still believes it is a viable solution to the training need. What type of analysis would help the BA gain approval to proceed with creating this type of training program for this team?
