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

This user story follows best practices in user story writing by addressing the "Who, What, and Why":

Clear Perspective: The story is written from the perspective of the finance team member, ensuring the user’s role and need are well-defined.

Action and Value: The "what" (setting up a billing account) and "why" (to support the opportunity won) are included, ensuring clarity and alignment with business goals.

Salesforce Guidance: Salesforce recommends framing user stories to reflect specific user needs, making the story actionable and valuable for the development team.

The final step that a business analyst should perform during the user acceptance testing process that would ensure a “go” decision is to get written sign-off from all business stakeholders. Written sign-off means obtaining formal approval or confirmation from the business stakeholders that the system or solution meets their requirements or expectations and is ready to be released to production. Written sign-off helps to ensure a “go” decision by demonstrating that the system or solution has passed all the tests or validations, as well as resolving any issues or risks that may prevent the release. Written sign-off also helps to document and communicate the completion and acceptance of the user acceptance testing process.

This answer states that development and QA teams are the intended audience for the user stories written by junior BAs for developing a solution to help UC track and analyze its carbon emission in an effort to meet its new initiatives. Development team is a group of people who are responsible for building, testing, and deploying the solution based on the user stories. QA team is a group of people who are responsible for verifying, validating, and ensuring the quality of the solution based on the user stories. Development and QA teams are the intended audience for the user stories because they need to understand what to build and how to test the solution, and they need to provide feedback or clarification on the user stories.

Another important item that the BA should look for in the UAT plan is timelines. Timelines are schedules that specify when each testing activity or task should start and end, and who is responsible for completing them. Timelines help to ensure that testing is conducted in an efficient and timely manner, avoid delays or conflicts in testing resources or availability, and meet the project deadlines and expectations. The other options are either irrelevant or incomplete. Option A does not relate to the UAT plan, but rather to the project budget or scope. Option C does not specify what process maps are needed or how they are used in testing.

The first step that the business analyst should take to help resolve the issue is to confirm steps to reproduce the issue. Reproducing an issue means following the same steps or actions that caused the issue to occur in order to verify its existence and severity. Reproducing an issue helps to confirm whether it is a real bug or a human error, as well as gather more information about its root cause, impact, frequency, etc. Reproducing an issue also helps to document it clearly and accurately for reporting and resolution purposes.

The document that the BA should review and revise to provide more clarity to the team is acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria are statements that define what conditions or requirements must be met for a user story or sprint to be accepted by the user or stakeholder. Acceptance criteria help to clarify the scope, functionality, and quality of the user story or sprint, provide a basis for testing and validating the work done, and ensure that it meets the user’s needs and expectations. By reviewing and revising acceptance criteria for the user story about an Opportunity email alert, the BA can provide more clarity to the team about what type of testing is needed.

The business analyst should conduct individual interviews to gather input from the key stakeholders. Interviews are a technique that involves asking open-ended questions to stakeholders or users to gather information and feedback about their needs, expectations, preferences, pain points, goals, etc. Interviews help to elicit requirements and user stories from the key stakeholders by allowing them to express their opinions and experiences in their own words, as well as clarifying any doubts or ambiguities. Interviews also help to avoid the influence or dominance of one stakeholder over others, as well as reduce the risk of groupthink or conformity.
