Solution assessment is the process of evaluating the proposed or implemented solutions, assessing their value and performance, and recommending improvements or changes. Solution assessment can be done in multiple iterations, depending on the number and nature of the solutions, the complexity and uncertainty of the problem, and the stakeholder preferences and expectations.The business analyst can do multiple assessments, one for each solution or to compare multiple solutions, to determine the best solution that meets the business need and objectives, and delivers the expected benefits and outcomes12
Option B is incorrect because there is no rule that the business analyst should perform the same type of assessments for each solution to be balanced. The type of assessments that the business analyst performs depends on the criteria and metrics that are relevant and appropriate for each solution, as well as the availability and reliability of the data and information.The business analyst should use the most suitable and effective assessment methods for each solution, which may vary depending on the solution characteristics and context34
Option C is incorrect because the business analyst can do more than one assessment per solution. The business analyst may need to repeat or refine the assessment for a solution, based on the feedback, validation, and verification of the results, or the changes in the requirements, assumptions, or constraints.The business analyst may also need to perform different types of assessments for a solution, such as feasibility, cost-benefit, risk, impact, gap, or performance assessments, to evaluate the solution from different perspectives and dimensions12
Option D is incorrect because there is no limit to the number of solution assessments that the business analyst can do. The business analyst should not assume that some of the solutions are better than others, without conducting a proper and rigorous assessment.The business analyst should consider all the possible solutions that are within the solution scope, and evaluate them based on the agreed criteria and metrics, to ensure that the optimal solution is selected and implemented5
