Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A.
Decision Gates are focused on project progress, readiness, and strategic alignment, not in the SOI itself and its detailed technical compliance (a topic for technical reviews and audits). See INCOSE SE Handbook 5th Ed. section 2.1.3, pp.29-31 and section 2.1.4, p.32.
B.
This is a typical decision gate goal. Decision gates often assess whether funding, staffing, and infrastructure are in place to proceed with the next and further lifecycle stages. See INCOSE SE Handbook 5th Ed. section 2.1.3, p.29.
C.
This is a typical decision gate goal. Decision gates help ensure that the project is still aligned with the business case and mission needs. See INCOSE SE Handbook 5th Ed. section 2.1.3, p.29.
D.
Part of their purpose of decision gates is to ensure that critical risks, issues, or technical concerns that have to be resolved before proceeding are appropriately addressed. See INCOSE SE Handbook 5th Ed. section 2.1.3, p.29.
