Which technique helps identify whether a solution meets requirements by defining specific measurable outcomes in advance?
Answer: Test-driven acceptance criteria
Pre-defined, measurable acceptance criteria enable objective assessment of whether the solution satisfies requirements.
A business analyst identifies that a deployed solution is underused by end users despite meeting all documented requirements. The MOST likely cause is:
Answer: Requirements did not fully capture actual user needs or usability expectations
User adoption issues often indicate that elicited requirements missed underlying user expectations, workflows, or usability needs that are not captured in functional specs.
In the requirements lifecycle, 'validated' requirements are those that have been confirmed to:
Answer: Deliver value to stakeholders and align with business objectives when implemented
Validation confirms that implementing the requirement will actually deliver business value, not just that the requirement is well-written.
When a solution does not deliver the expected business value, the business analyst should FIRST:
Answer: Investigate whether the root cause is a solution defect, incomplete implementation, or a changed business need
Understanding the root cause ensures the correct corrective action is taken rather than applying a solution that does not address the actual problem.
Requirements that are marked as 'cancelled' in the requirements lifecycle are those that:
Answer: Were removed from scope because they are no longer needed or viable
Cancelling a requirement formally removes it from scope when business conditions change, making it unnecessary or infeasible to implement.
Which activity in solution evaluation measures the actual performance of the delivered solution against the baseline performance metrics established before deployment?
Answer: Benefits realization tracking
Benefits realization tracking compares pre- and post-deployment performance metrics to determine whether the solution is achieving its intended business outcomes.
