Ben is the business analyst for his organization. Ben is currently working on a solution to improve a laser printer. He has taken the laser printer apart, identified each component, and documented each component's purpose.
What type of requirements organization is Ben doing in this scenario?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Functional decomposition is a technique that breaks down a complex system or process into smaller and simpler parts, each with a specific function or purpose. By doing so, it helps to understand the structure, behavior, and functionality of the system or process, and to identify the requirements for each part. In this scenario, Ben is doing functional decomposition by taking the laser printer apart and documenting the purpose of each component. This can help him to improve the performance, quality, or efficiency of the laser printer by analyzing and optimizing each component's function. References:
