Succeed Insurance has plans to expand operations in Greeley, Colorado.

In the Guidewire delivery methodology, the "Determine Requirements" phase (often part of Inception or Elaboration) focuses on understanding the business need and mapping it to the software capabilities.

Lead an Elaboration Workshop (A):TheElaboration Workshopis the primary forum where BAs engage with stakeholders (like the Greeley operations team) to discuss the specific needs for the new "hail damage" product. This is where the raw requirements are gathered, discussed, and refined.

Recommend Base Product Features (B):A critical responsibility of the Guidewire BA is to maximize product value by reducing unnecessary customization. When determining requirements for "reimbursement" and "hail damage," the BA should immediately demonstrate and recommend how ClaimCenter's out-of-the-box Coverage, Exposure, and Incident features can handle this scenario. This aligns the customer's expectations with the standard software capabilities, expediting the implementation.
