AA project whose deliverables are delayed because of technical problems
BA project that produces outputs which do not support the organisation's strategic goals
CA project that goes over budget as a result of supplier pricing
DA project that encounters opposition from stakeholders
EA project that is held up by regulatory requirements
✓ Correct answer: B. A project that produces outputs which do not support the organisation's strategic goalsFor a project to be strategically aligned, its outputs must actively contribute to the organisation's objectives.
Why the other options are incorrect:
• A project whose deliverables are delayed because of technical problems: Being late does not indicate strategic misalignment.
• A project that goes over budget as a result of supplier pricing: Exceeding budget does not reflect a lack of strategic alignment.
• A project that encounters opposition from stakeholders: Stakeholder opposition does not necessarily indicate misalignment with strategy.
• A project that is held up by regulatory requirements: Regulatory delays are an external factor, not a sign of strategic misalignment.
