Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 168

During an iteration review session, some product features are at risk of being canceled due to high operational costs when the product is launched into a production environment.
What type of analysis should the project lead have conducted to avoid this situation?

Answer options

• A. Benefits analysis
• B. Risk analysis
• C. Capacity analysis
• D. Gap analysis

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Risk analysis, as it identifies potential issues that could arise, such as high operational costs, allowing for proactive measures to be taken. The other analyses, while useful in their own right, do not specifically focus on identifying and mitigating risks associated with operational costs.
