Which is an example of a business priority?

Question

Options

• AProvide secure 802.11n access across corporate network
• BIntegrate voice and video traffic onto a single network
• CChange voice codex from G711 to G729a
• DIncrease sales by 25% in the 18 months

• B
  6% (1)
• C
  6% (1)
• D
  88% (14)

Explanation

Option D is the only choice expressed as a business outcome - it uses business language (sales, percentage growth, timeframe) and represents a goal that executives and stakeholders set to drive the organization forward. Options A, B, and C are all technical requirements or IT initiatives: securing a wireless network (802.11n), consolidating traffic onto one network, and selecting a specific voice codec (G711 vs. G729a) are decisions made by network engineers to support business goals, not business goals themselves. The key distinction is that business priorities describe what the organization wants to achieve, while technical requirements describe how IT will implement solutions.

Memory tip: If the sentence could appear in an engineering design document or network spec sheet, it's a technical requirement - not a business priority. Business priorities belong in a boardroom presentation and are always framed around outcomes like revenue, customer growth, or market share.
