Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 208

The business analyst (BA) is investigating techniques that would be appropriate for determining how and who uses data across the identified processes. Which technique should the BA select?

Answer options

• A. Decision model
• B. Data dictionary
• C. CRUD (Create, read, update, and delete) matrix
• D. Stakeholder list, map, or personas

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Decision model is the best choice as it helps in analyzing how decisions are made based on data usage, which directly relates to understanding data usage in processes. The other options, while useful for different purposes, do not specifically focus on the interplay of data usage and decision-making as effectively as the Decision model does.
