What's the difference between a desired outcome and a solution? Choose the best answer.
A.
The desired outcome is how the organization will operate in the future; the solution is the method to reach the desired outcome.
B.
They are synonymous.
C.
The solution is the ideal fulfillment of the business goals; the desired outcome is the financial gain created by the implementation of the solution.
D.
The desired outcome is what the solution will remove.
Desired outcome: Represents the future state of the organization—the specific business goals, benefits, or changes the organization aims to achieve. It describes "what" the organization wants to accomplish.
Solution: Refers to the means (e.g., process, system, product, or practice) used to achieve the desired outcome. It answers "how" the organization will reach the future state.
The BABOK Guide (Chapter 6: Strategy Analysis) emphasizes that defining the desired outcome is critical for understanding the business need, while solutions are designed to bridge the gap between the current and future states.
