Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA): CCBA

Correct Answer: A

The BA should schedule a backlog walkthrough with the two stakeholders who do not agree on the priority of several product backlog items. This is because a backlog walkthrough is a technique that involves reviewing and discussing the product backlog items with the stakeholders to ensure a common understanding and agreement on their priority, scope, and acceptance criteria. A backlog walkthrough can help to resolve any conflicts or disagreements among the stakeholders and move the project forward. The other options are not as effective or appropriate as scheduling a backlog walkthrough.

Level of abstraction describes the breadth and depth of the information being provided. Representations of information may range from highly conceptual or summarized to very detailed. In determining how much detail each stakeholder may require as the initiative evolves, consideration is given to the needs of the stakeholders, the complexity of what is being explained, and the importance of the change. Rather than present the same information to all stakeholders, business analysts should present information with appropriate breadth and level of detail based on each stakeholder's role. Business analysis information regarding a topic of significant importance or high level of risk is frequently represented in greater detail.

Correct Answer: A

When the project sponsor expresses concern with certain requirements that address the federal government legislation, the BA should compare requirements with compliance requirements to ensure that they are aligned and consistent. Compliance requirements are those that must be met by an organization to satisfy contractual obligations, laws, regulations, standards, or policies. Comparing requirements with compliance requirements is also a technique for validating requirements.
