During the Reviewing and Analyzing the Success stage, which sequence describes the typical actions?

• A. Analyze discrepancies, take further action if necessary.
• B. Take further action if necessary, then measure success.
• C. Measure the success of the solution by comparing the outcome of the action with the expected results; Analyze any discrepancy to identify the reasons for it; Take further action if necessary.
• D. Measure the success and then finalize the project.

Answer: (C)

Evaluating outcomes and using a feedback loop is key here. Start by measuring how well the solution performed by comparing the actual results to what was expected. Then analyze any discrepancy to identify why the results diverged and what caused the gap. Based on that analysis, take further action if necessary to adjust or improve the solution. This sequence ensures decisions are evidence-based, root causes are understood, and there’s a clear path for iteration. Jumping directly to action without measuring, or ending after measuring without making improvements, breaks the loop and misses opportunities to refine.
