Explanation
After completing the initial analysis, the BA will be presenting the expected benefits of the project to the leadership. This is because the BA has already analyzed the current state, the problem domain, and the business objectives of the project, and has identified the value proposition for the customer base. The expected benefits are the measurable outcomes that will indicate the success of the project and the achievement of the business objectives. They will also help to justify the investment and resources required for the project. The expected benefits should be aligned with the strategic goals of the organization and the needs of the stakeholders.
The other options are not correct because they are not the focus of the initial analysis. The project timeline, deliverables, and resource staffing are more related to the planning and execution phases of the project, and they depend on the scope and requirements of the project, which are not yet defined at this point. The BA will be involved in these aspects later in the project, but they are not the primary outputs of the initial analysis.
