Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 511

A business analyst (BA) is developing the requirements for an inventory management system. Some current accounting processes are automated but other departments like purchasing, marketing, sales and distribution departments work in isolation and have a manual process. They extensively use spreadsheets to maintain the transactions and at the end of the day the department managers manually verify and reconcile transactions before supplying the information to the accounting department. In order to verify and validate the elicited requirements, the BA will need to prepare a:

Answer options

• A. single process model on automation for all stakeholders.
• B. database structure in the viewpoint of the selected stakeholders
• C. list of requirements in a spreadsheet for all stakeholders.
• D. set of process models in the viewpoint of the selected stakeholders.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a set of process models tailored to the perspective of selected stakeholders helps in visualizing and validating the requirements across different departments. Option A is incorrect as a single model may not capture the unique requirements of each department. Option B focuses on database structure, which is not the primary need for validating requirements. Option C suggests a spreadsheet, which does not provide the visual representation needed for effective validation.
