IIBA Agile Analysis Sample Questions:
01. A backlog contains two items that are high value and low effort and one that is high effort and low value.
Using a value-versus-effort view, what does this most directly suggest?
a) Tackle the high-effort, low-value item first simply to get it out of the way early.
b) Deliver the items in the order the stakeholders originally requested them.
c) Sequence all of the items by effort ascending, regardless of their value.
d) Do the high-value quick wins first and defer the high-effort, low-value item.
02. A sponsor asks the BA to produce a detailed, fixed twelve-month plan for the whole initiative before any work starts.
Which planning approach best fits shaping an initiative in an agile context?
a) Produce the detailed, fixed twelve-month plan exactly as the sponsor requested.
b) Use rolling-wave planning, committing near-term detail and keeping later plans open.
c) Plan only the current iteration in detail and nothing at all beyond it.
d) Avoid planning altogether and simply let all the work emerge, iteration by iteration.
03. A team has finished a story map and now needs to define a second release that builds on the first.
How should they use the map to distinguish release two from release one?
a) Put every story under the first activity in release one and the rest in two.
b) Slice horizontally beneath the backbone, with release two adding depth per activity.
c) Split the releases by story size, small stories first and large ones later.
d) Assign the two releases by which delivery team is available to build each part.
04. An enterprise reviews its strategy once a year. Midway through the cycle, its customer-behaviour dashboards show a clear and sustained shift that undercuts a key assumption behind the current strategy.
What should the agile business analyst advocate as the best response?
a) Wait for two more quarters of confirming data before acting, to avoid overreacting.
b) Bring the signal into a strategy checkpoint now and assess its impact on the goals.
c) Push the signal to the delivery teams to handle within their current iteration.
d) Log the shift and address it at the next regularly scheduled annual strategy review.
05. Finance wants to approve a single fixed budget covering an initiative's full eighteen months up front, so the plan is "locked and stable." Discovery so far suggests the need is real, but the best solution is still uncertain.
Which funding approach best fits an agile Strategy Horizon context?
a) Fund in increments, releasing each further tranche of investment as outcomes are demonstrated.
b) Allocate the fixed budget in proportion to each team's current headcount.
c) Withhold all funding until the initiative's requirements are fully specified.
d) Lock the full eighteen-month budget now to guarantee the plan stays locked and stable.
06. Halfway through an initiative, feedback shows that a planned feature will not meaningfully move the target outcome, even though it was in the original plan.
What is the best initiative-level response?
a) Record the feature as scope creep but still keep it in the plan.
b) Build the feature anyway, because it was already committed in the original plan.
c) Deprioritize the feature and redirect its capacity toward the outcome.
d) Escalate the change to a formal change-control board for its approval.
07. Leadership must commit to one of two strategic directions for entering a new market, but has little evidence about which will succeed. A full market study would take six months and delay entry, and competitors are already moving.
Which approach best fits an agile Strategy Horizon response to this uncertainty?
a) Fund a few small, low-cost experiments to generate evidence before committing.
b) Have the executive team vote now so the strategic direction is settled quickly.
c) Choose the direction showing the higher projected return in the current business case.
d) Commission the full six-month market study so the decision rests on complete analysis.
08. The team had a stable WSJF ordering, but a new regulatory deadline sharply raises the cost of delay for Feature D while its job size is unchanged.
What is the correct effect on the roadmap sequence?
a) Leave the order unchanged, because Feature D's job size did not change at all.
b) Move Feature D to the very end, because regulatory work tends to run slow.
c) Recompute WSJF; D's higher cost of delay raises its score and pulls it earlier.
d) Ignore the new deadline, since WSJF does not consider any time pressure.
09. To create "a strictly ordered backlog," a team force-ranks its items by estimated effort, smallest first.
What is the flaw in how they applied force ranking?
a) Force ranking is only valid for epics, never for smaller backlog items.
b) They should have used MoSCoW instead, which is always the superior technique.
c) Ordering by effort ascending is the correct way to optimize delivery flow.
d) Force ranking should order items by value, priority, and risk, not effort alone.
10. With an initiative goal fixed, the team has produced a long list of candidate deliverables and wants to decide which ones actually belong in scope.
How should impact mapping discipline the decision?
a) Sequence the deliverables in whatever order the team feels most comfortable building.
b) Keep deliverables that trace an actor-behaviour impact to the goal; prune the rest.
c) Prioritize the deliverables strictly by their estimated build cost first.
d) Deliver everything on the map, since each idea was suggested for some reason.
