DA0-001 Question #215: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Several analysts are working simultaneously to compile a company's annual report and meet a tight deadline. Since each analyst is making changes, the analysts are concerned that they are not always working on the most up-to-date report, which results in rework. Which of the following should be included in the report to prevent this from happening in the future?

Options

• AA version control table
• BReference data sources
• CInstructions
• DA report run date

Explanation

To prevent rework and ensure analysts work on the most current version of a report, a version control table should be included. This mechanism tracks changes and the current state of the document.

Common mistakes.

• B. Reference data sources identify where the data in the report comes from, but do not help track changes to the report itself.
• C. Instructions within the report guide users on how to interpret or use the report, but do not provide a mechanism for managing its evolution.
• D. A report run date indicates when the data within the report was extracted or the report was generated, but it does not track changes to the report's content or structure over time.

Concept tested. Document version control and collaboration
