Question 386

Company A is a nation-wide leader in commercial demolition. Having just celebrated its 100th year of operations, the company decided to begin doing work internationally. The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations. Therefore, the company decided to replace its client-based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. This will ensure transparency across the organization and enable better decision making.
The business analyst (BA) at Company A has recently completed several rounds of elicitation to determine the requirements for the new, web-based system. Over 1250 requirements were elicited. An initial Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) has been drafted, and a subset of the RTM can be seen below:

The risk associated with Requirement ID F-P0001 is HIGH. The BA has gone back to the Crew Chief to determine why this requirement's risk is HIGH. The Crew Chief stated that it was based on an assumption.
Which of the following assumptions would make this requirement's risk high?

    *Time with the insurance company (Loyalty)
    Various financial models are considered but the stakeholders agree that an initial applicable discount is determined based on the customer's overall premium:

    The percentage of the maximum possible discount available to the customer is adjusted based on time with the company:

    If within the first six months, customer retention increased by 5 % and sales increased by 6%, then when will the desired sales and retention goals be achieved assuming the trend continues at the same pace?
