I think they should consult with the business owner first.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should trust the project team's analysis over the business owner's input. I guess option B could be safer, but I’m not sure.

I feel like we should definitely consult the business owner first, but what if they insist on their original priorities? That makes me lean towards option D.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we practiced a similar question where we had to consider the impact of changing priorities. Could it be option C?

Valene 1 year ago

I remember we discussed the importance of aligning priorities with stakeholder expectations, so maybe option D is the best choice?

Definitely go with option D. Consulting with the business owner to discuss trade-offs is crucial. We need to make sure we're all on the same page before making any changes.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure. The business owner's input is important, but the project team's analysis should also carry a lot of weight. Maybe a combination of options C and D would be best.

I think the key here is to re-evaluate the priorities based on the analysis the project team did. Option C seems like the best approach to me.

This seems like a tricky one. I'd want to understand the business owner's reasoning for marking certain requirements as high priority before deciding how to proceed.
