Honestly, I'm just happy I'm not the one dealing with this project. Prioritizing risks sounds about as fun as herding cats while juggling chainsaws. But hey, at least the board's request is only a 2-week delay - could be worse, am I right?

Ah, the joys of project management. I'd go with C too. Engaging the sponsor beforehand is like putting on your seatbelt before a road trip - it's just common sense.

Hmm, I'd have to go with D. Working with an established industry standard prioritization method seems like a safer bet than pleasing the sponsor. But hey, what do I know? I'm just here to pass the exam, not run the project!

I totally agree with Erin. Presenting to the board without the sponsor's input is just asking for trouble. C is the way to go.

The correct answer is C, engaging with the project sponsor before presenting to the board. That's a classic move to avoid surprises and ensure alignment.
