Which statement is true regarding assumptions made in the business case?

Question

Options

• AThey should be limited to initial installation efforts,and not related to downstream adoption.
• BThey give a basis for estimates,whether related to initial installation,deployment,adoption,or other
• CThey give support for possible increases in cost,but do not address how lower expenses might
• DThey explain what problems could potentially occur through projects,and how these situations

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  94% (30)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Assumptions in a business case provide the foundational basis for all estimates and projections across the entire project lifecycle - including initial installation, deployment, adoption, and any other relevant factors - which is exactly what option B describes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because limiting assumptions only to installation ignores the full scope of a business case; adoption and downstream impacts are equally important to estimate accurately.
• C is wrong because assumptions address both cost increases and potential savings - a business case must account for the full financial picture in both directions.
• D describes risk identification or issue logs, not assumptions; assumptions are about what you believe to be true as a basis for planning, not about what could go wrong.

Memory tip: Think of assumptions as the "given that..." statements underpinning every number in your business case - given that adoption reaches 80%, given that deployment takes 3 months. They span the whole project, not just one phase.
