Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
When implementing an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS), failing to capture requirements correctly at the start impacts cost and schedule (Option A).
Why Option A is Correct?
Poorly defined requirements lead to scope creep, rework, and misalignment with business needs, increasing costs and delays.
A well-defined IWMS strategy ensures seamless integration, proper software configuration, and efficient implementation.
IFMA's Technology Core Competency emphasizes that FM professionals must define clear goals and requirements upfront to avoid costly modifications later.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
Option B (Temperature control and cost): IWMS implementation does not directly impact HVAC performance or temperature control.
Option C (Special relations and utilizing color): IWMS is a digital system and not related to spatial aesthetics or color design.
