Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 298

You are the business analyst for your organization. Management has asked that in the business case you're creating that you also include the projected costs and benefits to be realized and how those and benefits will be assessed and evaluated.
What term matches management's request?

Answer options

• A. Cost-benefits justification
• B. Risk assessment
• C. SWOT analysis
• D. Results measurements

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Cost-benefits justification' because it specifically addresses the evaluation of costs versus benefits in a business case. The other options, such as 'Risk assessment' and 'SWOT analysis,' focus on different aspects of project analysis, while 'Results measurements' pertains to tracking outcomes rather than justifying costs and benefits.
