Question 297
The project plan called for deliverables to be handed over at the end of the project. Although the client's business team was satisfied, the client's technical team was extremely resistant to this approach. What could the business analyst (BA) do to mitigate the technical team's resistance?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The BA should engage with the technical team to understand their concerns and resistance. By meeting with them, the BA can clarify any misunderstandings, provide additional information, and work collaboratively to address any issues. This approach aligns with the CCBA®'s emphasis on effective stakeholder engagement and communication to ensure that all parties are aligned and that project deliverables are accepted. References: The CCBA® Handbook and the Business Analysis Competency Model from IIBA outline the importance of stakeholder collaboration and the BA's role in facilitating communication between business and technical teams to achieve project success
Question 298
A business analyst (BA) has been spending the majority of the past week cataloguing the new, removed, and modified components of an upcoming project. What is the main purpose of the BA performing this work?
Correct Answer: B
According to the BABOK Guide, defining the future state is a technique for strategy analysis. This technique can help the BA perform the work of cataloguing the new, removed, and modified components of an upcoming project, as it describes how the organization or business unit will operate after implementing a change3. By doing so, the BA can identify the gaps between the current state and the future state, and define the solution scope and approach. Therefore, the correct answer is B. References: BABOK Guide, [CCBA Mock Test]

Question 300
A business analyst (BA) is working on a project to implement a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) application for tracking customers. In an observation session with a domain subject matter expert (SME), the BA notes that the SME keeps separate records for the customers who are also vendors. The BA knows that the new software has a module for vendor management that would integrate the vendor and customer records. Which type of opportunity has the BA identified?
Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed Byidentifying duplicate record-keeping, the BA hasfound an opportunity to eliminate redundant tasks, improving efficiency. BABOK Guide (Chapter 6.1 - Define Solution Approach)states that BAs shouldidentify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual work, and enhance system capabilities. Providing future value (Option A)may be a benefit but is not the immediate opportunity. Providing more information (Option B)is an outcome but does not describe eliminating duplication. Automation (Option D)improves consistency but does not specifically address duplication.
