The CEO demands the $14M backlog be addressed in 90 days. The CTO admits the API will take 180 days to deploy. As a BA, which recommendation balances the CEO's urgency with the CTO's long-term vision?

Recommend hiring 5 temporary staff for 6 months to clear the backlog manually while the API is being developed.

Explanation

This is an 'Adaptive' planning decision. A BA must recognize that a single solution might not meet all constraints. A hybrid approach uses 'Temporary Transition Resources' to solve the immediate cash flow crisis while investing in 'Permanent Solution Capability' for the future. This aligns with the 'Plan Business Analysis Approach' domain, which requires BAs to define a process that meets the timing and business needs of the initiative.
