Question 1

In which informal technique do multiple reviewers provide verbal or written feedback?

  1. Option A:

    Single issue review

  2. Option B:

    Pass around

  3. Option C:

    Inspection

  4. Option D:

    Rolling wave

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

The " pass around " technique involves multiple reviewers providing their feedback either verbally or in written form. This method allows various stakeholders and team members to review and comment on the requirements or other project documents. Each reviewer can build on the feedback from previous reviewers, providing a comprehensive review process. This technique helps in identifying issues, ensuring completeness, and improving the overall quality of the documents by incorporating diverse perspectives.

Question 2

(In an effort to increase stakeholder collaboration in a newly formed committee, you decide to facilitate a collaborative game.

Which game characteristic will help the stakeholders overcome their inhibitions MOST effectively?)

  1. Option A:

    Take-home exploration step

  2. Option B:

    Defined rewards and penalties

  3. Option C:

    Neutral facilitation

  4. Option D:

    Hands-on element

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is D. BABOK’s Collaborative Games technique explains that activities such as moving sticky notes, scribbling on whiteboards, or drawing pictures help participants overcome inhibitions, foster creativity, and think in different ways. These are all examples of a hands-on element, which makes option D the best answer.

Option A is incorrect because a take-home exploration step may support later reflection, but it is not identified by BABOK as the characteristic that most directly helps participants overcome inhibitions during the session itself.

Option B is incorrect because collaborative games in business analysis are meant to encourage shared understanding, creativity, and participation, not to emphasize rewards and penalties. That approach could even reduce openness in a newly formed group.

Option C is important for good facilitation, but the BABOK wording specifically points to interactive, physical participation as what helps people overcome inhibitions most effectively. That is why hands-on activity is the stronger answer here.
