Salesforce Certified Business Analyst — Question 10

As a business analyst (BA) starts engaging stakeholders for a user story writing workshop, an executive sponsor questions why the Commerce Cloud project is creating user stories rather than standard requirements.
What is one benefit of creating user stories that the BA can share with the executive sponsor?

Answer options

• A. It helps testers determine the most efficient way to validate solutions.
• B. It defines technical specifications early in the process.
• C. It saves time when prioritizing and implementing functionality.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Creating user stories allows teams to focus on delivering value quickly, which aids in prioritizing and implementing functionality more efficiently. This agility in development can lead to faster adaptation to stakeholder needs compared to traditional requirements. The other options, while relevant to aspects of the development process, do not capture the primary advantage of user stories in terms of time savings and prioritization.
