Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer

Elaboration sessions conducted during theInception phaseare designed to validate scope, align stakeholders, and ensure a shared understanding of how Guidewire InsuranceSuite supports business needs. These sessions are exploratory and collaborative rather than execution-focused.
Two key participant responsibilities during elaboration sessions arefocusing on the happy path first, followed by edge cases, andreviewing standard process flows in relation to Guidewire product functionality, makingOptions A and Bcorrect.
Starting with thehappy pathallows participants to validate the primary business scenario without unnecessary complexity. Once the core flow is understood and agreed upon, edge cases and exceptions can be discussed in context. This approach aligns with Guidewire's recommended practice of leveraging out-of-the-box functionality before introducing complexity.
Reviewingstandard process flowsand mapping them to Guidewire functionality ensures that stakeholders understand what the product already provides. This helps avoid over-customization and supports the
"configure over customize" principle central to Guidewire implementations.
The remaining options are not objectives of elaboration sessions. Creating detailed UI mockups (Option C), formalizing sprint tasks (Option D), writing Gosu code (Option E), and performing regression testing (Option F) all occur in later phases of the project lifecycle.
Elaboration sessions are successful when they focus on understanding, validation, and alignment-setting the stage for efficient and predictable delivery.
