What are three of Appian's core capabilities?

• Building highly-interactive reporting or data exploration applications
• Accommodating applications that need to run completely ofline
• Connecting to database management systems (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server)
• Designing effective user interfaces by combining available UI components
• Automating business processes with complex workflow

Which three use cases are best suited for implementation with Appian?

• A use case that requires integrations with different systems
• A use case that can be developed and run ofline only
• A use case that requires multiple approval workflows
• A use case that requires the editing of documents without third-party integration
• A use case that requires reporting and displaying graphs

Consider the below use case:A third-party system needs to push information to Appian in real-time. The information is processed in Appian and a case ID is returned.The third-party system displays the reference case ID on the confirmation screen. Which integration approach is most suitable?

• Use a web API-based integration
• Use FTP/SFTP
• Use an integration object
• Use message queues

A customer wants to automate a workflow for completing customer service cases. The high-level workflow involves multiple rounds of recording investigation results, uploading related documents, sending communications, and approving.

• A report showing the user's cases with associated actions.
• A dashboard showing the user's cases with associated actions.

• Use a mockup to illustrate alternatives with different user interfaces, and propose the alternatives to the business in the next requirements session.
• Ask the developers to investigate workarounds or plug-ins to reduce the implementation effort.

A team of employees manages invoice processing and payments for their organization.Each day, the team receives invoices via email. The team reviews the invoices, sends payments, and logs the payments manually in a shared spreadsheet.Where is the best opportunity for automation in this manual process?

• Leverage Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to help the employees send thank you messages to the originating organizations as soon as the invoices are received
• Create a process that sends the team a task to input the information upon receipt of the initial invoice
• Create a macro that reduces the number of clicks required to enter payment information, and embed the macro into the shared spreadsheet
• Leverage Optical Character Recognition and workflow tools to intake and review the invoices for accuracy upon receipt, then process payments or prompt employees to research

You need to invoke Appian interfaces from an existing web portal. What is the preferred solution approach?

• Implement a headless solution approach

During the "initiate" phase, what are two key benefits of successful requirements gathering?

• Adherence to the business stakeholders' goals
• Less rework after the "test" phase
• Fewer test cases required
• Better performance of the application

During the development phase, a feature was identified that was not initially part of the project scope but is now considered crucial.What should the Appian Analyst do?

• Immediately add the feature to the current sprint
• Escalate the feature request to the Product Owner for re-prioritization
• Reject the feature as it was not part of the original scope
• Wait until the next project phase to include the feature
