Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) Practice Test

The proper assessment of capability gaps within an organization is crucial for identifying areas where improvements are necessary to meet strategic goals. In this context, the best choice is the solution performance assessment.

Solution performance assessment involves analyzing the effectiveness of existing solutions against the organization’s needs and objectives. By evaluating how well current systems and processes function, this assessment provides insights into whether they meet the necessary performance criteria. This process helps to determine if there are deficiencies in capabilities that hinder the organization’s ability to achieve its strategic goals.

In contrast, business needs highlight what the organization aims to accomplish and the expectations of stakeholders but do not directly measure performance gaps. Enterprise architecture gives a structured framework of organizational components and relationships but does not delve deeply into the performance evaluation of current solutions. Similarly, business goals and objectives set the direction for the organization but do not inherently assess the current capabilities or highlight where improvements are necessary. Each of these inputs plays a role in the overall analysis process, but the solution performance assessment is specifically focused on measuring and identifying those critical capability gaps.
