Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Reduce the budget for the remainder of the project.
Why it's wrong here
Cutting budget now does not address the underlying benefit realization issue.
- ✓
Review the benefits realization plan to assess organizational change progress.
Why this is correct
You must investigate why the system isn't delivering value despite technical completion.
- ✗
Accelerate the technical project completion to reach 100%.
Why it's wrong here
Completing technical work won't help if the benefits aren't being realized.
- ✗
Lower the benefit targets to match the current progress.
Why it's wrong here
This is manipulating data, not managing benefits.
