Agile Business Analysis Delivery Horizon Activities 4

Question 1

In the Delivery Horizon, how should a BA handle a non-functional requirement (NFR) such as system response time?

Accepted Answer

Embed it as a testable acceptance criterion within the relevant user stories or as a team-wide DoD item

Answer

NFRs must be made explicit and testable at the story level or DoD so they are enforced during delivery, not discovered after release.

Question 2

A BA uses example mapping during Delivery Horizon story refinement. What is the PRIMARY benefit of this technique?

Accepted Answer

It surfaces edge cases and shared understanding through concrete examples before coding begins

Answer

Example mapping uses real examples to expose ambiguity and edge cases early, aligning team understanding before work begins.

Question 3

Which of the following is the MOST accurate statement about BA involvement after a story is coded but before it is accepted?

Accepted Answer

The BA collaborates with testers to verify that acceptance criteria are fully met before acceptance

Answer

Active BA collaboration with testers during verification ensures acceptance criteria are faithfully met and business intent is preserved.

Question 4

During the Delivery Horizon, a BA identifies that two separate teams are building overlapping features. What should the BA do FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Raise the dependency in the appropriate cross-team coordination forum and work to eliminate duplication

Answer

Cross-team coordination forums are the correct channel to surface and resolve dependencies and overlaps before they cause integration conflicts.

Question 5

A BA is asked to produce a release readiness report at the end of a delivery increment. Which information is MOST critical to include?

Accepted Answer

Status of acceptance criteria, outstanding defects, and stakeholder sign-off for each story in the increment

Answer

Release readiness depends on confirmed acceptance, known defect status, and stakeholder approval — not effort or budget data.
