The correct answer is A. Increase efficiencies. Eliminating redundant data variations and removing the IT change request bottleneck for new countries is a direct increase in operational efficiency.
Question
The solutes presented by a business analyst (BA) to the stakeholders eliminated the need to maintain different variations of ship-to-country and location-to-rout* for various freight carriers. Instead, the routing would use a standard carrier code, giving the business me flexibility to just ship to new countries without raising a change request to IT. which was the current road-block to business. What opportunity did the BA present to the stakeholders?

- AIncrease efficiencies
- BDecrease stakeholder involvement
- Cincrease access to information
- DDecrease project timeline

Why each option
Eliminating redundant data variations and removing the IT change request bottleneck for new countries is a direct increase in operational efficiency.
The BA's solution standardized carrier codes, removing the need to maintain multiple ship-to-country and location-to-route variations across freight carriers. This eliminated a known process roadblock - requiring IT change requests to add new countries - allowing the business to operate faster and with less overhead. Both the reduction of redundant configuration and the removal of the IT dependency represent concrete efficiency gains.
The solution did not reduce stakeholder involvement; it actually empowered business stakeholders to act independently without IT intervention.
Increased access to information was not the outcome - the solution addressed process standardization and elimination of duplicated routing configurations.
A shorter project timeline was not mentioned as an outcome; the benefit was removing an ongoing operational roadblock, not accelerating a project schedule.
