A business analyst has been asked to evaluate all of the reporting tools that Universal Containers (UC) currently uses, including CRM Analytics, to identify gaps and overlaps in functionality. Which tool would help UC understand the existing functionality.
Correct Answer: C
The tool that would help UC understand the existing functionality of all of its reporting tools is a capability model. A capability model is a visual representation of the core capabilities or functions that an organization performs or delivers to achieve its strategic objectives. A capability model helps to identify and organize high-level process areas that span across different departments or teams, as well as highlight any gaps or overlaps in functionality. A capability model can also help to prioritize and scope Salesforce projects based on business value and impact. In this case, UC can use a capability model to map out all of its reporting tools by their capabilities or functions, such as data sources, data integration, data analysis, data visualization, data sharing, etc. This would help UC understand what each reporting tool can do or provide, how they relate or differ from each other, and where there may be redundancies or inefficiencies in their reporting processes.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) has moved its inventory systems to Salesforce to track the clothing it manufactures and sells. As a part of this project, NTO wants to implement several features which will also improve how its inventory is restocked. In order to manage the discovery phase of the project, the project team plans to hire a business analyst (8A). What should a BA do to be successful during the first phase of the project?
Correct Answer: C
The tasks that a business analyst should do to be successful during the first phase of an inventory project are elicit requirements, create flows and process diagrams, and understand business analytics. These tasks will help them understand the current state of NTO's inventory system, capture the needs and expectations of stakeholders, map out how NTO tracks its clothing manufacturing and sales processes, and measure how NTO's inventory affects its business performance. Building automation and deploying a solution are tasks for later phases of the project after validating and testing prototypes. Architecting a solution and configuring a sandbox are tasks for developers or architects based on user stories.
