Salesforce Certified-Business-Analyst - Salesforce Certified Business Analyst Exam (SP25)

When a business analyst learns that another team also needs email integration in the near future, they should include that team during discovery. This is because including all relevant stakeholders early in the project can help to identify common needs, avoid duplication of work, leverage synergies, and deliver value faster. The business analyst should invite the operations team to participate in discovery activities such as interviews, surveys, workshops, observations, etc., and capture their requirements, expectations, and feedback. The business analyst should also communicate the project scope, timeline, and risks to both teams and manage any changes or issues that may arise.

In creating a compelling demo, the storytelling technique is highly effective. This approach involves framing the demo narrative around a hero (typically the end-user), presenting a challenge they face, introducing the solution (the Salesforce functionality) as the helper, and showcasing the victory, which is the successful resolution of the challenge through the implemented functionality. This technique engages the audience by making the demonstration relatable and showing the practical value of the solution in a real-world context. It emphasizes the impact of the features on the users' daily tasks and how it addresses their specific needs.

The tool that Universal Containers should use to prevent teams from overwriting each other’s changes in the future is a version control system. A version control system is a tool that tracks and manages changes to code or configuration in a software project or enhancement. A version control system helps to prevent teams from overwriting each other’s changes by allowing them to create and work on separate branches or copies of the code or configuration, merge their changes with the main branch or copy when they are ready, and resolve any conflicts or errors that may occur during the merge. A version control system also helps to maintain a history of changes, backup and restore previous versions, and collaborate and communicate with other team members.

The business analyst should move this item to the definition of done. The definition of done is a set of criteria that must be met before a user story or sprint can be considered complete or ready for release. The definition of done helps to ensure quality, consistency, and transparency across the project team. The step “Code Review by Technical Architect” is not part of the acceptance criteria for a specific user story, but rather a general requirement that applies to all user stories or sprints.

One thing that user stories help the business analyst do is encourage iterative development. Iterative development is an approach that breaks down a project into smaller cycles or iterations, each delivering a working piece of functionality or value to the user. User stories are well suited for iterative development because they are concise, focused, and prioritized based on user needs and value. User stories help to deliver features faster and more frequently, while allowing for feedback and changes along the way.

The project team needs to agree upon a definition of done to ensure that the work is ready to be deployed. A definition of done is a set of criteria that determines when a user story is completed and ready for deployment. It typically includes technical, functional, and quality aspects of the user story, such as code quality, unit testing, documentation, performance, security, and usability. A definition of done helps to ensure that the work meets the expected standards and quality, satisfies the user’s needs and expectations, and aligns with the project goals and scope.

The business analyst should set up a casual meeting to create a personal connection with the stakeholder to build trust with them as the project continues. A casual meeting is an informal conversation that allows the business analyst and the stakeholder to get to know each other better, share their backgrounds and interests, and establish rapport and empathy. A casual meeting can help to ease any tension or frustration that may have arisen during the discovery session, as well as show respect and appreciation for the stakeholder’s input and feedback.

The business analyst should encourage the project stakeholders to think of various ways to solve cases differently before deciding on a specific solution. This is because the business analyst should focus on understanding the problem or need that the project is trying to address, rather than jumping to a predefined solution. By exploring different options and alternatives, the business analyst can help the project stakeholders find the best fit solution that meets their requirements and expectations, as well as aligns with the project scope, budget, and timeline.
