A business analyst is facilitating a sprint review. A stakeholder requests a major feature change mid-sprint. What is the BEST response?
Answer: Log the request in the product backlog for prioritization by the product owner
New requests are added to the product backlog and prioritized by the product owner rather than disrupting an active sprint.
Which technique is MOST useful for identifying the minimum viable product (MVP) scope?
Answer: MoSCoW prioritization
MoSCoW (Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have) is specifically designed to prioritize features and define MVP scope.
In Agile, what does 'Definition of Ready' (DoR) ensure for a user story?
Answer: The story is sufficiently understood and estimated to be pulled into a sprint
DoR ensures a user story meets agreed criteria — such as being clear, estimated, and actionable — before the team commits to it in sprint planning.
A product owner and the development team disagree on the priority of backlog items. What should the business analyst do?
Answer: Facilitate a conversation to surface underlying business value and dependencies
The BA acts as a facilitator, helping both parties understand business value, effort, and dependencies to reach an informed decision.
Which Agile artifact provides a ranked list of all work the team may deliver?
Answer: Product backlog
The product backlog is the ordered list of everything that might be done by the team, maintained by the product owner.
When writing acceptance criteria using the Gherkin format, which structure is used?
Answer: Given / When / Then
Gherkin uses Given (context), When (action), Then (outcome) to express acceptance criteria in a behavior-driven style.
A team's velocity has been inconsistent over the last four sprints. What should the business analyst recommend?
