Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 299

A project's business analyst has to understand the newly acquired technology and the impact it will have on the organization. Which tool should be used to understand the new technology?

Answer options

• A. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT)
• B. Work breakdown structure (WBS)
• C. Must have, should have, could have, won't have (MoSCoW)
• D. Responsible, accountable, consulted, informed (RACI)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The SWOT analysis is effective for identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the new technology, helping the analyst assess its impact on the organization. The other tools, while useful for project management and prioritization, do not specifically address the evaluation of technology's implications.
