I think the staffing plan was also a big issue.

I’m a bit lost on this one. I remember staffing plans being important, but I can’t recall if they were mentioned as a reason for project delays. Maybe D?

I think we had a practice question about communication plans, and it was emphasized that they’re vital. So, C seems like a strong contender for the answer.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like a payback period isn’t always necessary for every project. Could A be the right answer?

I remember we discussed how milestones are crucial for tracking progress, so I think B might be a key issue here.
