Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 216

A business analyst (BA) is tasked with performing a gap analysis between two existing systems to combine into a single system or run just one system. Which of the following modelling formats will show the requirements for both systems side by side?

Answer options

• A. Glossary
• B. Matrix
• C. Bubble Chart
• D. Activity Flow

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Matrix format is appropriate for showing requirements from both systems side by side, allowing for a clear comparison. The Glossary provides definitions but does not illustrate requirements, the Bubble Chart visually represents relationships but not side-by-side requirements, and the Activity Flow outlines processes rather than specific requirements.
