I thought change management was about handling changes that the customer requests, so this doesn't seem to fit that. Maybe it's value added change?

I practiced a question like this where the project manager added features just to use the budget. I think it was definitely gold plating.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like this could also relate to scope creep since she's changing the project scope without customer approval.

I remember discussing something similar in class about adding features that weren't requested. I think that might be gold plating?

This is a good one. The key is recognizing that the definition is describing the process of quality assurance, where you regularly evaluate performance to confirm the project is meeting quality requirements. I'm confident C is the right answer.

Alright, let's do this. Sort the "Zero Scores" column in descending order, sort the "IDs" column in ascending order, and then filter out the students with no zero scores. I think I've got this!

Okay, let me see here. The Implementation and Migration Plan - that's got to be in one of the later phases, right? I'm leaning towards Phase G or H.

Okay, this looks straightforward. I just need to convert the units and calculate the height.
