What do business benefits impact?

• A. Economic prioritization of the feature, and alignment with key strategic themes
• B. Technical feasibility and risk
• C. Team velocity and capacity
• D. Market size and competition

Answer: (A)

Business benefits provide the value signal used to decide what to build first. They translate a feature’s impact into measurable outcomes that matter to the business, so they can be weighed against cost and risk. Because of this, they drive economic prioritization—ranking work by the expected value it delivers—and ensure that what gets built aligns with key strategic themes and objectives. This focus on value and strategy is what makes business benefits the primary factor in prioritization decisions.

Technical feasibility and risk, while important, come from architecture and risk management considerations; team velocity and capacity affect how much can be delivered in a given increment, not the intrinsic value of the feature; and market size and competition relate to external market analysis rather than the internal prioritization criterion captured by business benefits.
