Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 139

The solution presented by a business analyst (BA) to the stakeholders eliminated the need to maintain different variations of ship-to-country and location-to-route for various freight carriers. Instead, the routing would use a standard carrier code, giving the business the flexibility to just ship to new countries without raising a change request to IT which was the current road-block to business. What opportunity did the BA present to the stakeholders?

Answer options

• A. Increase efficiencies
• B. Increase access to information
• C. Decrease stakeholder involvement
• D. Decrease project timeline

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is appropriate because the BA introduced a standard carrier code that simplifies shipping processes, thereby increasing operational efficiencies. The other options do not align with the main benefit of streamlining processes or improving efficiency; rather, they focus on information access, stakeholder involvement, and project timelines, which are not directly addressed by the solution.
