Zebra Gear provides equipment, clothing, and apparel to referees and sports officials in the US. The CEO wants to expand slowly into the UK market. One of her concerns is with shipping and order fulfillment in the new market. Your company was hired to perform a gap assessment and produce a series of reports. The reports should highlight likely problems or gaps and recommend solutions.

You have been working with your project team to fully define the scope of the new project with the CEO and her core team. Of all the tools listed for the Define Scope process, which one is least likely to be effective or applicable in this situation?

A. Expert judgment because your team will have a hard time finding people with experience with this type of international business.

B. Facilitated workshops because one key to success with those sessions is to have the decision-makers in the room; the CEO is probably very busy and she may not be available.

C. Product analysis because the deliverable for this project is more of a service or result.

D. Decomposition because the nature of gap analysis makes it difficult to get down to work packages.
