PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 34

A company is in the final phases of implementing a project for a client. Which tool or technique could the business analyst use to iteratively validate the solution?

Answer options

• A. Expected vs. actual results
• B. Expected vs. actual costs
• C. Schedule variance
• D. Quality variance

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as comparing expected vs. actual costs allows the business analyst to assess financial performance and make necessary adjustments. Options A, C, and D focus on other aspects such as results, schedule, and quality, which may not directly lead to iterative validation of the solution's effectiveness in terms of costs.
