Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 445

You are the business analyst for a new project. Part of this project is for the project team to manually install new workstations through the company's campus.
Based on your research you have determined that the project team can install 25 new workstations per hour. Since there is a fixed amount of time that these workstations need to be installed you are considering adding additional labor for the implementation. You are also considering to adjust the prioritization of the project requirements based on the amount of workstations the project team can install per hour. What does the 25 workstations per hour represent in this scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as planning involves determining resource allocation and scheduling to meet project goals. The rate of 25 workstations per hour is a critical factor in the planning phase, helping to decide the necessary workforce and timelines. The other options do not accurately capture this aspect, as parametric estimates refer to a method of estimating costs or duration, reporting is about documenting progress, and timeboxing is a technique for limiting the duration of a task.
