Sample Better Business Cases™ Foundation exam question
Answer this question the same way you would on exam day. No sign-up needed — one random question, three tries to swap it out.

The team includes a 'do minimum' option in the long list, applies an optimism bias factor of 44% for novel engineering (even though the project is standard IT), and plans to omit the commercial and management cases because the project is simple. Which statements are correct?
