Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The primary value of the business analyst (BA) speaking with customer service reps during the discovery for a new Service Cloud implementation is validating current processes. Customer service reps are the end users of Service Cloud and they can provide valuable insights into how they perform their tasks, what challenges they face, and what expectations they have from the new system. The BA can use this information to validate or update the current process maps and identify areas for improvement. Estimating the project cost is not a value of speaking with customer service reps, as this is usually done by project managers or sponsors based on resource allocation and budget constraints. Building solution design consensus is not a value of speaking with customer service reps, as this is usually done by solution architects or developers based on technical feasibility and best practices.
