CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Benefit planning requires realistic and achievable targets. Kavya should facilitate alignment between the sponsor's expectations and what the project can deliver by bringing both parties together to validate assumptions and adjust targets or scope as needed.

**Why not A:** Documenting the benefit target as a risk avoids the necessary discussion about whether the target is realistic. The team's concern is about feasibility, which should be addressed directly through stakeholder dialogue, not merely logged as a risk.

**Why not B:** Accepting the target without validating it against the project scope could set the team up for failure. If the 15% cost reduction is not achievable given the project deliverables, proceeding without discussion creates unrealistic expectations.

**Why not D:** Reducing the project scope to fit the benefit target puts the cart before the horse. The appropriate action is to align expectations through discussion first, then determine if scope, benefit targets, or both need adjustment based on that analysis.
