I can see the merits of a few different approaches here. While option C sounds like a good way to tap into the organization's institutional knowledge, I wonder if we might also benefit from bringing in some external industry expertise, as suggested in option D. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Okay, let's break this down. The key points are that the organization has mature program management capabilities and a history of successful programs. Given the high risk of the new program, I think the best approach would be to leverage that existing knowledge and experience, so option C seems like the way to go.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Could it be that the new server images were incompatible with the load balancer configuration? Or maybe the load balancer hit some kind of limit? I'll need to think this through carefully.
