Which of the following is NOT a phase of the WVA?

• A. PRE-Assessment
• B. INFORMATION GATHERING
• C. INFORMATION PROCESSING
• D. POST-Implementation Review

Answer: (D)

WVA focuses on planning and analysis before any action. It starts with Pre-Assessment to define scope and identify value drivers, then moves to Information Gathering to collect the necessary data, and finally to Information Processing to analyze that data and develop actionable options. The step that follows these phases is typically implementation, after which you would want to evaluate how well the chosen solution performed. That evaluation is a Post-Implementation Review, which is not considered a phase of the WVA itself. So, Post-Implementation Review sits outside the WVA cycle and is done after implementing changes to check outcomes.
