The Solution Evaluation knowledge area

• Describes the tasks that business analysts perform
• Assesses the performance of and value delivered by a solution in use by the enterprise
• Recommends removal of barriers or constraints that prevent the full realization of the value

Solution Evaluation tasks can be performed on solution components in varying stages of development:

• Prototypes or Proofs of Concept: working but limited versions of a solution that demonstrate value.
• Pilot or Beta releases: limited implementations or versions of a solution used in order to work through problems and understand how well it actually delivers value before fully releasing the solution.
• Operational releases: full versions of a partial or completed solution used to achieve business objectives, execute a process, or fulfill a desired outcome.
