Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 510

A business analyst has been assigned the task of developing a model of the current state of an organization. The business analyst doesn't understand why a current state may be needed. All of the following are good reasons to create a current state model of an organization except for which one?

Answer options

• A. Analyzing the current state of the organization to look for opportunities for improvement
• B. Assessing the positive and negative risks that may exist within the current state
• C. Validating the solution scope with businesses and technical stakeholders
• D. Assisting stakeholders to understand the current state

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because validating the solution scope is typically part of the solution design phase, not the current state modeling. The other options (A, B, D) are directly related to understanding and analyzing the current state, which is essential for identifying improvements and risks.
