Salesforce Certified Business Analyst — Question 90

A business analyst (BA) at Universal Containers looks at the user stories for a new implementation of the Salesforce Customer Data Platform (CDP) and notices they are too large. The BA recommends that the large stories be broken down into smaller stories which will decrease the future level of effort for subsequent activities.

Which activity will be most impacted by breaking down the user stories?

Answer options

• A. Acceptance criteria
• B. Estimation
• C. Defining the persona

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Breaking down user stories will directly impact the acceptance criteria because each smaller story will need its own specific criteria for completion. While estimation and defining the persona may also be influenced, the acceptance criteria are most closely tied to the size and clarity of the user stories themselves.
