Question
Assume your telecom company is time constrained and needs to be first to market with new smart phones with features that are different from those of the competition and also have the traditional features desired by your existing customers.

To make the case for acquiring new resources, you decided to assess capability and capacity. This approach is:

Explanation
Finite capacity planning and reporting is the formal portfolio management process that assesses what resources are currently available, identifies gaps between current capacity and future needs, and supports decision-making about acquiring additional resources. This directly matches the described activity of assessing capability and capacity to justify new resource requests to the Portfolio Review Board. Option A (PMIS) is a system/tool, not a process or approach. Option C (detailed forecast) is an output of finite capacity planning, not the approach itself. Option D (identifying resource capacity and capability) describes what the approach does but is too vague and does not name the formal PMI process; finite capacity planning is the correct PMI terminology.
