Question

You are creating the solution scope for a proposed solution in your organization. You need to understand the scope of work that needs to be completed. You elect to identify the solution scope and then break the solution scope into smaller work products or deliverables. What technique are you using in this instance?

  • AInterface analysis
  • BScope modeling
  • CVision statement creation
  • DFunctional decomposition

Why each option

Breaking a solution scope into progressively smaller work products or deliverables is the technique known as functional decomposition.

AInterface analysis

Interface analysis examines the interactions and data exchanges between a solution and its users, systems, or external entities, not the decomposition of scope into deliverables.

BScope modeling

Scope modeling defines and documents the boundaries and context of a solution but does not specifically involve breaking that scope down into smaller deliverables.

CVision statement creation

Vision statement creation articulates the high-level goals and purpose of a solution but does not involve decomposing scope into discrete work products.

DFunctional decompositionCorrect

Functional decomposition is a technique where a complex item - in this case the solution scope - is systematically broken down into smaller, more manageable components, work products, or deliverables. This hierarchical breakdown allows business analysts and project teams to fully understand the scope, assign responsibilities, and manage delivery effectively.
