Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 243

You are the business analyst for the YGT Organization. You have just completed a capabilities gap assessment and have determined that your organization does not have the necessary resources and technology to seize a business opportunity.
What is the most likely course of action for the organization?

Answer options

• A. Hire additional resources.
• B. Launch a new project.
• C. Hire contractors to complete the project work.
• D. Move onto the next opportunity.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as hiring contractors allows the organization to quickly fill the resource gap without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time employees. Option A may not be feasible in a tight timeframe, B assumes resources are available which is not the case, and D would mean missing out on the current opportunity, which is not advisable after identifying it.
