Exam Certified-Business-Analyst Topic 4 Question 67 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Certified-Business-Analyst exam
Question #: 67
Topic #: 4
The business analyst (BA) at Universal Containers (UC) wants to understand why UC failed to meet a deployment date for its product go live while following the Agile process. According to the BA's research, the developers lacked a sense of the work in progress and the intended goal of that work, and the QA team was unable to clearly test the functionality based on a given persona.
Which step should the BA take next?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The next step that the business analyst should take is to review the user stories to ensure they are small, testable, and valuable. User stories are statements that capture a requirement or feature from an end user's perspective. They should be small enough to be completed within a sprint, testable enough to be verified by acceptance criteria, and valuable enough to deliver benefits or outcomes for end users. Reviewing user stories can help UC understand why development and testing took more time than expected, and how to improve them for future sprints.Creating a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to understand why development and testing took more time is not a good next step because it is a strategic tool that evaluates the internal and external factors affecting a project or initiative, not a tactical tool that evaluates the quality or effectiveness of user stories. Moving the deployment date out so the teams have more time to work is not a good next step because it does not address the root cause of why development and testing took more time, and it may affect the project scope or budget.
