Universal Containers has asked a business analyst (BA) to create a process map indicating how it is using Marketing Cloud to manage its campaigns. In a process map that uses Universal Process Notation (UPN), the BA has marked each activity box with a resource.
What does an activity box marked "C Customer' mean?

  1. The customer should be responsible.
  2. The customer should be informed.
  3. The customer should be consulted.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This answer explains that an activity box marked "C Customer" means that the customer should be consulted. In a process map that uses Universal Process Notation (UPN), an activity box is a symbol that represents a task or an action that is performed in a business process. An activity box can be marked with a letter to indicate the role or the resource that is responsible for performing the task or action. The letter C stands for consult, which means that the resource should be asked for input or advice before or during the task or action.

Universal Containers (UC) has chosen to implement Sales Cloud and Service Cloud to increase revenue and remove bottlenecks in its current processes. A business analyst (BA) is tasked with diagramming business processes.
What should the BA do to successfully meet governance requirements to identify the business purpose?

  1. Use UC's existing terminology.
  2. Adhere to agreed upon mapping standards.
  3. Identify resources engaged in each step.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To successfully meet governance requirements to identify the business purpose, the business analyst should adhere to agreed upon mapping standards. Mapping standards are guidelines or conventions that define how to create and document business process maps. They help to ensure consistency, clarity, and quality of the process maps across different projects and teams. They also help to align the process maps with the business objectives and requirements, and support regulatory considerations.

The business analyst (BA) at Northern Trail Outfitters needs to create a current state process map for a Service Cloud implementation with its retail division. The BA needs a simple diagramming notation for the process map that is applicable across all industries, provides context for metrics and management decisions, and supports regulatory considerations.
Which diagramming notation should the BA use for the process map?

  1. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
  2. Universal Process Notation (UPN)
  3. Unified Modeling Language (UML)

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This answer selects Universal Process Notation (UPN) as the diagramming notation that the BA should use for the process map. UPN is a simple and standardized way of creating process maps, using only four symbols: activity, decision, start/end, and annotation. UPN can help the BA create a process map that is applicable across all industries, provides context for metrics and management decisions, and supports regulatory considerations.

At the start of a new Agile development project, the Universal Containers' product owner asked the business analyst (BA) to clearly define the intended results of the work based on stakeholder needs. The development and implementation teams will use the intended results to plan product decisions. The definition should avoid assumptions and focus on stakeholder value.
Which element should the BA choose to define the intended results?

  1. Requirements
  2. User stories
  3. Epics

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This answer chooses user stories as the element that the BA should use to define the intended results of the work based on stakeholder needs. User stories are short and simple descriptions of a feature or a functionality from the perspective of an end user or a stakeholder. User stories can help the BA define what stakeholders want to accomplish, why they want to accomplish it, and how they will measure success. User stories can also help the development and implementation teams to plan product decisions based on stakeholder value.

Universal Containers recently kicked off a project to build an Experience Cloud solution for partners. Partners need to upload their monthly sales reports to this account portal.
Which option should the business analyst use as the functional requirement specification?

  1. Partners need to submit monthly sales reports.
  2. The portal should allow for partners to upload monthly sales reports.
  3. The portal should allow for partners to access monthly sales reports.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A functional requirement specification is a statement that describes what a product or service must do or provide to meet user needs or business objectives. It should be clear, concise, testable, and measurable. The option B is an example of a functional requirement specification because it describes what the portal should do (allow for partners to upload monthly sales reports) without specifying how it should do it or why it should do it.
