Question 404
You are preparing a business case for your organization to determine the justification of the costs of the solution in relation to benefits the solutions will bring the organization. You need four inputs to complete this process. Which one of the following is not an input that will help you write the business case?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation A business case is a document that clearly identifies the reasoning for initiating a project to justify the resources required. It is written to justify the resources required for the project (money or effort) and align the project objectives to the business needs. It also includes the costs, benefits, and risks of the proposed solution, and compares it with alternative options1. A business case is an important input for the project initiation and approval process, as it helps the decision makers to assess the value and feasibility of the project2. To write a business case, you need four main inputs: feasibility study, assumptions and constraints, business need, and solution options3. A feasibility study is an analysis that evaluates the technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects of the project, and determines whether it is viable and worth pursuing4. Assumptions and constraints are factors that affect the project scope, cost, schedule, and quality, and that need to be identified and documented in the business case. Assumptions are things that are believed to be true or certain, while constraints are things that limit or restrict the project5. Business need is the problem or opportunity that the project aims to address, and that aligns withthe strategic goals and vision of the organization. Solution options are the different ways of solving the business need, and their respective costs, benefits, and risks. Stakeholder concerns are not an input for writing a business case, but rather an output of stakeholder analysis. Stakeholder analysis is a process of identifying and prioritizing the people or groups who have an interest or influence in the project, and understanding their needs, expectations, and perspectives. Stakeholder concerns are the issues or challenges that the stakeholders face or anticipate in relation to the project, and that need to be addressed or resolved. Stakeholder concerns are important for defining the requirements, managing the communication, and ensuring the stakeholder satisfaction, but they are not directly used for writing the business case.

Question 405
Which of the following charts is described in the statement below? "It shows the causes of a certain event. A common use of this diagram is to identify potential factors causing an overall effect. It helps identify causal factors and contributing causes."
Correct Answer: A
Explanation An Ishikawa diagram, also known as a fishbone diagram or a cause-and-effect diagram, is a graphical tool that shows the causes of a certain event. It is one of the seven basic tools of quality control and it is widely used in product design and quality defect prevention. A common use of this diagram is to identify potential factors causing an overall effect, such as a problem or a goal. It helps identify causal factors and contributing causes by organizing them into categories, such as people, processes, equipment, materials, environment, etc. The diagram can be created by brainstorming the causes and grouping them into major categories. The diagram can then be analyzed to find the root causes and the most significant causes of the effect.
