Explanation

The presence ofmultiple workarounds suggests inefficiencies in the current processthat should be addressed through process improvement. BABOK® Guide (Chapter 10.40 - Process Analysis)states that process improvement aims toidentify inefficiencies, reduce manual workarounds, and optimize workflow to improve overall system efficiency. Strategic realignment (Option A)involves broad organizational changes, which may not directly address system inefficiencies. Capability assessment (Option B)focuses on identifying gaps in competencies but does not directly improve the process. Project abandonment (Option C)is an extreme measure and is not justified here.
