Yes, the answer would be C. Here's why. The question is asking the fot FIRST thing that the CIO should do. Updating the IT strategic plan in alignment with the business direction is expected to be an action taken by the CIO, however, he/she needs to do the resource utilization matrix to correctly plan for what and by how much he/she will need to meet the capacity needs to be incorporated within the IT strategic plan.

Updating the IT strategic plan should be the first priority because it ensures that IT is aligned with the new business objectives and expansion goals. By revising the strategic plan, the CIO can identify any gaps or mismatches between the current IT capabilities and the requirements of the expanded organization. This allows for a proactive approach in addressing potential challenges and ensuring that IT resources and initiatives are appropriately allocated to support the expansion. Reviewing the resource utilization matrix may come later in the process, once the strategic plan has been updated and specific IT needs have been identified. It can help in assessing the current allocation of IT resources and determining if any adjustments are needed to support the expanded organization's requirements. However, without first updating the strategic plan to align with the expansion decision, it may be difficult to accurately evaluate resource utilization and make informed decisions about resource allocation.

I apologies for the earlier comment, Correct answer is C as the decision is already made by the CEO hence the CIO should now prepare for the expansion hence answer is C.

it should be A - Expanding a business is a significant change that requires a corresponding change in the IT strategy to support the business expansion. The CIO should first review the existing IT strategic plan and assess its alignment with the new business objectives. If the IT strategic plan is not aligned with the business expansion, the CIO should update it to ensure that IT is well-positioned to support the organization's objectives.
