Hiring independent experts in option D sounds like a solid idea, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary at this stage of planning. It might be better to rely on internal resources first.

I think option B makes sense because understanding the organization's risk tolerance could really help in planning, but I wonder if it’s enough on its own.

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 think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that calling external scripts can be useful for complex logic. So, I might go with option D as well.

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.
