Explanation

Capability and capacity analysis is most effective when embedded within a formal resource management process, which provides the systematic framework for identifying, categorizing, tracking, and optimizing resources across the portfolio. Evaluating skills and competencies (B) and resource optimization (D) are activities that occur within such a process - they are components, not the overarching best practice. Using the analysis only after resources are included in the performance plan (C) restricts its usefulness; the analysis should inform planning, not follow it. A resource management process ensures the analysis is repeatable, consistent, and actionable.
