Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 412

You are the business analyst for your organization and you are working with Bill on creating a model. Bill is a little confused about all the different things a model can do for the stakeholders.
You explain to Bill that a model can do all of the following except for which one?

Answer options

• A. Define the risk and reward for the requirements
• B. Categorize and create hierarchies of items
• C. Define boundaries for business domains
• D. Show business logic

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a model primarily serves to represent and analyze information, rather than to directly define risks and rewards associated with requirements. Options B, C, and D are all valid functions of a model, as they relate to organizing information, defining scopes, and illustrating business processes.
