Explanation
Of all the choices, the what-if scenario analysis allows you to determine the best approach to bring the schedule back into alignment with the project plan. What-if scenario analysis explains the analysis of the question "What if the situation represented by scenario 'X' happens?". This What-If Scenario Analysis shortly named as WIS scenarios, such as extending specific engineering durations, or delaying a major component delivery. Businesses use what-if scenarios to determine the effect different costs or investments have on profit and other financial indicators. Answer option D is incorrect. Resource leveling can cause your project's duration to increase. Answer option C is incorrect. Schedule analysis is the review of the schedule, but does not examine other possibilities for completing the project work. Answer option B is incorrect. Root cause analysis could help you determine the reasons why the project is running late, but it is not the best choice for this question as it is not a control schedule process tool and technique.
