Suggested Answer: B

Assess the impact of the request and create a change request. The project manager should assess the impact of the request and create a change request in response to the stakeholder asking to add mobile device functionality to a project that is on track to be completed under budget and ahead of schedule. A change request is a document that formally proposes and records a modification or addition to some aspect of a project, such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, or resources.

I'd go with C) and start that rollback plan - no point in trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat at this point. Unless, of course, the project manager has a time-traveling DeLorean hidden in their office. Then I'd say 'Floor it!'

A) Notify customers the downtime will take longer than expected. Honesty is the best policy, and the sponsor will understand if we communicate the issue proactively. After all, they'd probably be more upset if we just went over the deadline without warning.

B) Add new team members to help speed up validation. With a little extra manpower, we might just be able to get the validation done within the 3-hour window. Plus, the sponsor will appreciate the effort to meet their requirement.

D) Record the issue and proceed with the implementation. The project is already 70% complete, and rolling back could create more issues. Plus, the sponsor didn't specify that the downtime had to be exactly 3 hours - just 'not exceed' that timeframe. Why not see if we can finish in the remaining 30 minutes?

I think notifying customers about the delay would be the best option to manage expectations.

We should start executing the rollback plan to minimize the impact.

C) Begin executing the rollback plan. The project sponsor clearly stated the downtime should not exceed 3 hours, and with the validation process only 70% complete after 2.5 hours, it's clear the deadline will be missed. Proceeding with the implementation at this point would be irresponsible.
