I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the main issues are the short time and lack of direct interaction. So, E might be the right choice.

I’m a bit unsure, but I feel like all the options could apply. It seems like a complex situation in a matrix structure.

I think it’s also about not working directly with the functional employees. If they’re only on the project briefly, it makes it hard to evaluate them properly.

I remember discussing how project managers might not have enough time with employees to assess their performance accurately. That could definitely be a factor.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Is the purpose to delete the malicious files or just notify users? I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. I know contract-to-technology, contract-to-logic, and contract-to-implementation are all types of negative coupling, so the answer must be one of the other options.

This sounds familiar; I remember a practice question where we discussed the limits on doubtful debts, but I can't recall the exact percentages.

E is the way to go here. Trying to evaluate people you barely interact with on technical skills you don't possess? That's like asking a plumber to review the work of a rocket scientist. Good luck with that!

Yeah, and when employees spend only a short amount of time on the project, it makes it even harder for the project manager to evaluate their performance.

C and D seem like the obvious choices, but E covers all the bases. Lack of direct supervision and technical knowledge to assess the employees - that's a recipe for disaster in a matrix structure.

I think the answer is E. Not working directly with the functional employees and their short project assignments make it super challenging to give a meaningful performance review. It's like trying to judge a fish's ability to climb a tree.
