Question 270
The project manager encounters this adaptive/agile delivery challenge: In a digital identity product initiative, the sponsor requests evidence of business value rather than a list of tasks completed. A review finds: An infrastructure project has rising delivery cost that threatens the original return on investment. Which indicator would best confirm a successful outcome rather than activity alone?
Explanation
Correct Answer
“Sponsor decisions reference revised costs, benefits, and viable options rather than sunk costs.” is meaningful evidence for “In a digital identity product initiative, the sponsor requests evidence of business value rather than a list of tasks completed; A review finds: An infrastructure project has rising delivery cost that threatens the original return on investment” because it demonstrates the practical outcome of “Revisit the business case and compare alternative delivery options against remaining expected value.” instead of merely recording that work took place.
Incorrect Answers
“Value checkpoints show verified outcomes from deployed increments before overall project completion.” could measure performance for “A multi-year program cannot demonstrate value until the final go-live even though capabilities can be deployed independently.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a digital identity product initiative, the sponsor requests evidence of business value rather than a list of tasks completed; A review finds: An infrastructure project has rising delivery cost that threatens the original return on investment” has been resolved through “Revisit the business case and compare alternative delivery options against remaining expected value.”.
“Measured claim handling time and error rates improve against an accepted baseline.” could measure performance for “A data science initiative reports model accuracy but not whether it improves insurance claim turnaround.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a digital identity product initiative, the sponsor requests evidence of business value rather than a list of tasks completed; A review finds: An infrastructure project has rising delivery cost that threatens the original return on investment” has been resolved through “Revisit the business case and compare alternative delivery options against remaining expected value.”.
“Residents can complete the service remotely and transaction completion improves.” could measure performance for “A city program delivers the planned portal but residents still have to visit an office for its most-used service.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a digital identity product initiative, the sponsor requests evidence of business value rather than a list of tasks completed; A review finds: An infrastructure project has rising delivery cost that threatens the original return on investment” has been resolved through “Revisit the business case and compare alternative delivery options against remaining expected value.”.
