Which team members are part of the Three Amigos meeting? (Select two)
Correct Answer: A,B
The Three Amigos meeting is a key Agile practice used in Guidewire projects to clarify user stories before development begins. It ensures shared understanding across execution roles and reduces defects caused by misinterpretation. Two of the required participants in a Three Amigos session are the Business Analyst and the Quality Analyst , making Options A and B correct. The Business Analyst represents business intent and functional requirements. They explain the user story, business rules, validations, and expected behavior. The Quality Analyst represents the testing perspective. They focus on acceptance criteria, edge cases, and how the story will be validated to determine when it is "done." While Developers are typically the third "Amigo" in practice, they are not listed as an option in this question. The Project Manager and Scrum Master facilitate delivery but do not play the execution-focused role of an Amigo. Subject Matter Experts provide input during elaboration but are not core participants in Three Amigos sessions.
Question 7
_________ requirements are based on federal and/or state legislation that impact the project.
Correct Answer: A
In Guidewire InsuranceSuite implementations, regulatory requirements are those driven by federal, state, or regional legislation that directly impact how insurance products are configured, processed, and administered. Therefore, Option A - Regulatory is the correct answer. Regulatory requirements arise from laws and regulations governing insurance operations, such as rating rules, policy wording mandates, claims handling timelines, reporting obligations, and compliance with state-specific insurance departments. These requirements are non-negotiable and must be met to ensure legal compliance and avoid penalties or operational risk. From an analyst perspective, regulatory requirements must be clearly identified and documented during requirements gathering and elaboration. They often influence product model configuration, business rules, validations, workflows, and reporting. In Guidewire projects, regulatory requirements frequently vary by jurisdiction, making them especially important for multi-state or multi-region implementations. The other options are less accurate. Privacy requirements (Option B) are a subset of regulatory concerns but focus specifically on data protection and confidentiality rather than broader insurance legislation. "National Legislative" (Option C) is not a standard classification used in Guidewire methodology. Business requirements (Option D) reflect organizational goals and operational needs, not legal mandates. Properly identifying regulatory requirements ensures that Guidewire InsuranceSuite configurations align with legal obligations and that compliance is built into the system from the outset rather than retrofitted later. This is a critical responsibility of the Business Analyst in regulated insurance environments.
Question 8
During the elaboration of requirements for a new regulatory-driven liability calculation in Guidewire ClaimCenter, an analyst should challenge the assumption of replicating a complex legacy module by considering which of the following approaches?
Correct Answer: B,C
The correct answers are B, C because Guidewire analysts are expected to challenge requests that simply reproduce legacy behavior without first evaluating business value, regulatory intent, and standard product capability. B is correct because an analyst should first determine whether Guidewire Cloud Standards or existing pre- built capabilities can satisfy the need in a compliant way. Guidewire implementation guidance emphasizes using standard functionality and reusable content wherever possible before introducing custom solutions. This reduces complexity, improves maintainability, and aligns with the product-led implementation approach. C is also correct because the analyst should not assume that the historical solution is still the best solution. A new regulatory requirement should trigger a review of the actual business and legal need, not just the old system's behavior. By revisiting the regulation and exploring simplified approaches through standard application logic or business rules, the analyst helps the project focus on value and avoid unnecessary customization. A is incorrect because copying the legacy module exactly can preserve outdated complexity instead of solving the real business requirement. D is incorrect because jumping directly to a custom Gosu rule reflects a build-first mindset rather than a value- first, standard-first approach. E is incorrect because analysts should validate assumptions about legacy behavior rather than treat legacy implementations as automatically correct. This question reflects a key Guidewire analyst principle: understand the real need, challenge inherited complexity, and prefer standard, supportable solutions over direct legacy replication .
Question 9
Which of the following are examples of standardized prescriptive designs and solutions available on Guidewire Marketplace, that can be leveraged by a project team to speed up the implementation? Choose 2 options.
Correct Answer: B,D
The correct answers are B. Accelerators and D. GO Products because these are the types of packaged, reusable implementation assets that Guidewire makes available through the Guidewire Marketplace to help project teams move faster and reduce delivery risk. Accelerators are intended to speed implementation by providing prebuilt patterns, templates, integration aids, and solution components that can be adapted for a customer project. They reflect standardized and prescriptive approaches that save effort compared with designing everything from the beginning. For an analyst, accelerators are valuable because they can influence requirements discussions, solution options, and estimation by showing proven starting points. GO Products are also designed to accelerate delivery. They typically represent packaged solutions or predefined offerings that support faster implementation through reusable productized assets. These align closely with the idea of leveraging marketplace-based solutions rather than creating every component from scratch. The other choices do not fit this description as well. Standard process flows may exist as general guidance, but they are not typically identified as Marketplace solution offerings in the same way as accelerators and GO Products. Out-of-the-box user stories are not generally treated as Marketplace prescriptive solutions. Base product documentation is reference material that helps teams understand the system, but it is not itself a standardized implementation solution used to accelerate project delivery. So, when the question asks for examples of standardized prescriptive designs and solutions available on Guidewire Marketplace , the best answers are Accelerators and GO Products .
Question 10
When a new requirement for a commercial general liability product necessitates a change to the Guidewire data model, business analysts are responsible for defining the requirements for _____________________ and _____________________ that the base application does not store.
Correct Answer: B
When Guidewire InsuranceSuite requires a data model change , Business Analysts play a key role in defining what new data must be stored to support business requirements. The correct answer is Option B: new typelist values and additional entity fields . Business Analysts are responsible for identifying new business data elements that are not available in the out-of-the-box product. This often includes defining new typelist values to represent controlled sets of business options, such as classifications, statuses, or categories. Typelists ensure data consistency and usability across rules, UI, and integrations. Analysts also define requirements for additional entity fields . These fields store new information such as dates, indicators, or free-text notes that support the business process. Analysts specify the business meaning, usage, and constraints of these fields, while developers implement the technical changes. The remaining options fall outside the analyst's responsibility. Performance metrics, security roles, database indexing, table structures, and complex logic are technical or architectural concerns handled by developers or architects. Integration mapping and UI mockups may involve analysts, but they do not define changes to the data model itself. By focusing on typelists and entity fields, Business Analysts ensure the Guidewire data model evolves in a controlled, business-driven manner that supports functionality without unnecessary technical complexity.
