A new payroll system is ready for user acceptance testing (UAT). The business analyst (BA) identifies a risk that the payroll team may not be able to complete UAT within the scheduled two weeks because they are also processing the end-of-year payroll. What should the BA do to address this risk?

Recommend postponing UAT until after the end-of-year payroll is complete.

Work with the payroll team to schedule UAT sessions around their peak workload and provide additional support.

Proceed with UAT as scheduled and hope the team can manage.

Ask the project sponsor to waive UAT for the payroll team.

What is the main goal of evaluating solution risks?

To determine if the solution meets acceptance criteria

To review the delivery process for variances

To measure the business value delivered

To identify and analyze risks to recommend mitigation actions

Which of the following best describes the purpose of evaluating solution acceptance?

To review the project team's performance during delivery

To determine whether the solution satisfies the acceptance criteria and is ready for formal acceptance

To identify new risks that emerged during development

To measure the financial return on investment of the solution

A manufacturing company implemented a new production scheduling system. The performance criteria include a 95% on-time delivery rate. After three months, the on-time delivery rate is 93%. The BA suspects that the system is not the only factor; a recent supplier strike has also affected deliveries. The BA must evaluate the solution's performance. What should the BA do?

Conclude that the solution is performing well because the shortfall is due to the strike.

Analyze the data to separate the impact of the supplier strike from the system's performance.

Report that the solution is not meeting the performance criteria and recommend corrective action.

Adjust the performance criteria to account for the supplier strike.

During the evaluation of solution performance, which of the following is the primary basis for determining whether the solution is performing as expected?

The number of features delivered

The preferences of the project sponsor

The performance criteria defined during planning
