CLF-C02 Question 140
Select 3A retail company needs to generate sales reports for their annual Black Friday campaigns. The reports involve aggregating data from multiple sources and applying custom transformations. The team is deciding between running a one-time operation or setting up a repeatable process. Which of the following factors should lead them to choose a repeatable process over a one-time operation?
- A
The data sources and transformation logic are expected to remain the same for future campaigns.
- B
The reports need to be generated multiple times with minimal manual intervention.
- C
The company has limited technical expertise and prefers manual processes for flexibility.
- D
The sales data for Black Friday campaigns is only available once per year and does not require updates.
- E
Automation of the reporting process is likely to provide long-term cost savings and scalability.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
A repeatable process is ideal when tasks need to be executed multiple times, especially if the data sources and logic remain consistent, and automation can provide cost and scalability benefits. In this scenario, the need for recurring report generation and the potential for long-term cost savings make a repeatable process the better choice.
- A. Correct.
Correct. If the data sources and transformation logic will remain the same, a repeatable process is more efficient and scalable for future use.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Repeatable processes are ideal for tasks that need to be executed multiple times with minimal manual effort.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Limited technical expertise may favor manual processes, but this is not a justification for avoiding repeatable processes when automation can provide long-term benefits.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. If the data is only needed once and will not require updates, a one-time operation would be more suitable in this specific case.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Automating the process can optimize costs and allow the system to scale efficiently for future campaigns.
