Appian Exam ACA100 Topic 5 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACA100 exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 5
[All ACA100 Questions]

As an Appian Analyst, which two activities are you responsible for during the "Initiate" phase of a project?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

Define Personas (C): During the 'Initiate' phase, one of the key activities is defining personas. This involves identifying and detailing the different types of users who will interact with the application. Understanding these personas helps ensure that the application meets the needs of all user groups and informs the design and functionality of the system. Reference: Appian Documentation - User Personas

Plan a Requirement Gathering Approach (D): Planning the requirement gathering approach is another crucial activity in the 'Initiate' phase. This step involves determining how requirements will be collected, documented, and validated throughout the project. A well-defined approach ensures that all necessary information is captured early, setting a strong foundation for the development process. Reference: Appian Documentation - Requirements Gathering

Note: Building the deployment pipeline (A) and conducting sprint reviews (B) are activities typically associated with later phases in the project lifecycle, such as development and delivery.

C and D all the way. Unless this is a trick question and the correct answer is 'All of the above, plus a dance-off.'

Definitely C and D. Conducting sprint reviews sounds more like a 'Deliver' phase activity to me.
