Question 1 – Explain the partitioning of the work.
Answer: The scope defines both the work area to be studied and the adjacent systems that surround it. The adjacent systems supply data to the work and/or receive data from it. Business events happen in the adjacent systems—usually the event produces a demand for a service provided by the work. In addition, time-triggered business events occur when it is time for the work to provide some information to the adjacent system. The response the work makes to the business event is called a business use case; it includes all the processes and data necessary to make the correct response. The requirements analysts study the functionality and data of the business use case with the help of the appropriate stakeholders. From this study, they determine the optimal product to build, and construct a product use case scenario to show how the actor and the product will interact. Once agreement is reached on this product use case scenario, the requirements analysts write the requirements or the user stories for the product.

Question 2 – What do you mean by the scope of the work?
Answer: The work scope includes anything that you are permitted to change, plus anything that you need to understand to decide what can or should be changed.

Question 3 - Why Business Events and Business Use Cases are a good idea?
Answer: The Business Events and Business Use Cases help you discover the real requirements, and you discover them more quickly. Your partitioning of the work will be more objective if you identify the responses to outside stimuli; after all, that is the way your customers see your business. The business’s internal partitions—department and processors hold no interest in outsiders. By looking not at the inside, but from the outside, you get a clearer idea of the most functional way of partitioning the work. The work’s response to a business event brings together all the things that belong together. There is one more reason for using business use cases, and that is to prompt an investigation of what is happening at the time of the business event.
Question 4 – What is a time-triggered business event?
Answer: A time-triggered business event happens when a prearranged time is reached. This is based on either a periodic occurrence (for example, the end of the month, or a certain time each day), a fixed time interval (for example, three hours since the last occurrence), or a certain amount of time elapsing since another business event (for example, 30 days after sending out an invoice). The usual response to a time-triggered business event is to retrieve previously stored data, process it, and send the resultant information to an adjacent system.

    The scope of the work means identifying and determining what work to be studied by the BA and deciding what is going to be included or excluded in the work. Apart from this determining scope of the work is very important to set up the boundaries of the work and decided who is going to interview the requirements. It is project manager's duty to closely motoring the scope throughout the project lifetime and keep the project on track. The business analyst must know the scope of the work when he/she going to design the requirements.

    In previous chapter, we have addressed the importance of having the scope of project, this chapter is more focusing on the scope of work. This is considered essential also because a business analyst must understand the limitation of those things which can be changed and those can not. Along with the scope of work, this chapter also mentions the business use case, an insufficient part of any projects. In this stage, a business analyst is responsible for holding the business use case workshops in order to discuss and document current and future work with stakeholders. Moreover, business analysts also benefit from this workshop including improving communication among team members, better understanding the business process, knowing the priority of each tasks and so on.

    The partition of the work is immensely important to make it more organized and to increase the scope of the work. The scope of the work includes milestones, reports, deliverables and end products. Business Analysts use business use case and product use case scenarios to study the requirements process in greater detail. Business use cases are identified by business events. Product use case scenario shows the steps that will be a part of product.

Chapter 8: Starting the Solution Question 1. What is a persona and when is it used? Answer: A persona is a virtual character that represents a large number of customers (or users) with similar characteristics or demographics. Personas are constructed from data collected through surveys of your target audience and so represent most of your eventual users. It is important that you construct your persona with enough characteristics for you and your team to feel that they understand it well enough to know what it wants.  Personas are used when you have a large number of in-house users, or a large number of customers who will be using the product. The business analysts and designers use a persona as their source of user specific requirements. Question 2. What do you mean by "Designing the User Experience" ?

CHAPTER 12: FIT CRITERIA AND RATIONALE

CHAPTER 12: FIT CRITERIA AND RATIONALE What are fit criteria and the rationale of a requirement? There are some differences between the fit criteria of functional and non-functional requirements. The fit criteria of functional requirements determine how business analysts will realize that the product has effectively accomplished that activity. For functional requirements, it is hardly possible to decide the scales of measurement: The action is either finished or not finished. Completion relies upon satisfying an authority that the product has correctly performed the action. The authority mentioned can be the source of the information or the nearby system that commenced the action. Business analysts can write functional requirements for various types of action. The fit criteria of non-functional requirements is a measure of those qualities such as usability, look and feel, performance, operational, and so on. In the first place, some of the nonfunctional requirements may appear ...
