Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 293

A business analyst (BA) is working on improving solution performance and increasing value. The BA discovers that a set of interfaces and activities do not contribute to the final product either directly or indirectly. What should the BA recommend?

Answer options

• A. Provide a single solution for stakeholders thus reducing the cost of implementation
• B. Remove or minimize interfaces and activities that do not provide value to the final product
• C. Retire the current solution as it is not fulfilling the need for which it was created
• D. Propose an organizational change to automate the work people perform

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because removing or minimizing non-value-adding activities enhances overall efficiency and effectiveness in the solution. Option A does not address the specific issue of value addition, Option C suggests a complete abandonment of the solution which may not be necessary, and Option D focuses on automation rather than value assessment.
