PracticeSP 1.6

Select solutions from the alternatives based on the evaluation criteria.

Selecting solutions involves weighing the results from the evaluation of alternatives. Risks associated with implementation of the solutions must be assessed.

Typical Work Products

1.    Recommended solutions to address significant issues

Subpractices

1.    Assess the risks associated with implementing the recommended solution.

Refer to the Risk Management process area for more information about identifying and managing risks.

Decisions must often be made with incomplete information. There can be substantial risk associated with the decision because of having incomplete information.

When decisions must be made according to a specific schedule, time and resources may not be available for gathering complete information. Consequently, risky decisions made with incomplete information may require re-analysis later. Identified risks should be monitored.

2.    Document the results and rationale for the recommended solution.

It is important to record both why a solution is selected and why another solution was rejected.
