Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 425

Holly is the business analyst for her organization. Management has asked Holly to create a document that will define solution alternatives and how each identified solution may provide an expected business benefit to meet the identified business need. Management has asked Holly to provide data and statistics in this document to support her claims and findings.
What type of document is management asking Holly to create?

Answer options

• A. Feasibility study
• B. Vision statement
• C. Project scope statement
• D. Current state assessment

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a feasibility study evaluates different solution alternatives and their potential benefits to determine viability. The other options do not fit this purpose: a vision statement outlines future aspirations, a project scope statement defines project boundaries, and a current state assessment analyzes the existing situation rather than exploring alternatives.
