Which deliverable shows projects arranged according to complexity and effects on business results?

Question

Options

• ABusiness priorities to solution mapping
• BSolution architecture and ROI list
• CUnique architecture roadmap
• DBusiness impact matrix

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  87% (26)

Explanation

Option D is correct because a Business Impact Matrix is specifically designed to organize and display projects/initiatives ranked by their complexity versus their effect on business outcomes - making it easy to visualize trade-offs and prioritize accordingly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Business priorities to solution mapping) links business goals to technical solutions, but doesn't rank by complexity or business impact.
• B (Solution architecture and ROI list) focuses on technical design and return-on-investment calculations, not a complexity-vs-impact arrangement.
• C (Unique architecture roadmap) describes a timeline or sequencing of architectural decisions, not a complexity/impact ranking framework.

Memory tip: Think of a matrix as a grid with two axes - in this case, complexity on one axis and business results on the other. The word "matrix" in the answer directly signals a 2-dimensional comparison tool, which is exactly what "arranged according to complexity and effects on business results" describes.
