Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 288

A project team is evaluating criteria to determine project viability. Which of these activities will provide insight into making a go/no-go decision to start the project?

Answer options

• A. Cost of quality (COQ)
• B. Cost-benefit analysis
• C. Benchmarking
• D. Lessons learned

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a cost-benefit analysis evaluates the expected costs and benefits of the project, aiding in the decision to proceed. Options A, C, and D provide useful information but do not directly assess the viability of the project in the same comprehensive way as a cost-benefit analysis.
