- C. Job shadowing is an elicitation process that is a part of job observation.
- D. In this process, the observer is required to keep an eye on those workers whose work routine is down and who are unable to explain their work.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
The job shadowing process is a type of observation technique that involves following and watching a person performing a specific work activity. It is used to elicit information about the tasks, tools, events, and interactions involved in the work process, as well as the challenges, opportunities, and needs of the workers.
The observer can either ask questions during the observation (active approach) or after the observation (passive approach) to clarify and validate the information gathered. The job shadowing process helps the business analyst to understand the current state of the work process and to identify the potential improvements or changes required for the future state12.
The other options are not correct because:
Option A is incorrect. The job shadowing process is not a part of business analysis planning and monitoring activities. It is a part of business analysis elicitation and collaboration activities. Business analysis planning and monitoring activities involve defining the approach, scope, tasks, deliverables, schedule, and resources for the business analysis process3.
Option B is incorrect. The job shadowing process does not require the observer to keep an eye on those workers whose work routine is down and who are unable to explain their work. This is a biased and negative assumption that does not reflect the purpose and value of the job shadowing process. The job shadowing process is meant to observe any worker who performs the work activity of interest, regardless of their performance level or communication skills. The observer should respect the worker's privacy, autonomy, and dignity, and should not judge or evaluate their work4.

NEW QUESTION # 174
You are the business analyst for your organization. You're considering if you should make a solution or purchase it from a vendor. If your team creates the solution, it will cost $286,000 and will cost $2,400 per month to support. The vendor's solution, however, will cost $239,000 and will cost $2,850 per month to support. How long will you need to use your in-house solution to be more cost effective than the vendor's proposed solution?
- A. 64 months
- B. 105 months
- C. 19 months
- D. 32 months
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
To answer this question, you need to compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the two solutions over time. The TCO is the sum of the initial cost and the recurring cost multiplied by the number of months. You can set up an equation to find the break-even point where the TCO of the two solutions are equal:
286,000 + 2,400x = 239,000 + 2,850x
Solving for x, you get x = 64. This means that after 64 months, the TCO of the two solutions will be the same.
Therefore, you need to use your in-house solution for more than 64 months to be more cost effective than the vendor's solution.

Requirements foundation is a term used by IIBA to describe the core concepts of business analysis, such as requirements, stakeholders, and business analysis planning and monitoring4. References:

This will help the BA to support the project of establishing a consolidated catalogue of IT services.
