Why each option
Strategy mapping's primary advantage is its ability to visually represent the interconnected, cause-and-effect relationships between strategic objectives across different organizational perspectives.
While a balanced scorecard (often used with strategy maps) provides indicators, strategy mapping itself focuses more on the relationships between objectives rather than just the indicators.
Strategy mapping does not inherently depict process maturity levels; that is a function of process assessment or capability maturity models.
While strategy mapping can highlight areas where alignment is needed, its core function is to illustrate the links between objectives, not specifically to identify barriers to alignment.
Strategy mapping explicitly shows how objectives in one perspective (e.g., Learning & Growth) enable objectives in another (e.g., Internal Process), which then drive objectives in Customer and Financial perspectives, establishing clear cause-and-effect links.
