PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 143

A new project’s goal is to replace an existing system. What is an input into solution evaluation and decision making in this context?

Answer options

• A. Cost-benefit analysis of the existing system
• B. New solution design specification
• C. Customer metrics on the existing system
• D. Technical readiness of the development team

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The cost-benefit analysis of the existing system provides critical data that helps in evaluating the effectiveness and financial implications of the current system, making it crucial for decision-making. The new solution design specification, customer metrics, and technical readiness are important but do not directly inform the evaluation of the current system's performance in terms of costs and benefits.
