Consulting with the technical team sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if we should prioritize understanding the impact on the project first.

I think the first step should be to check with the project manager about the timeline and budget. That seems crucial before making any changes.

Easy peasy! I'd go straight to the technical team. They'll be able to tell me if this change is doable or not. Once I know that, I can figure out the timeline and budget impact.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I think I'd want to talk to the stakeholders and make sure this new requirement is actually needed. Don't want to waste time on something that doesn't add value.

This seems like a tricky one. I'd want to start by checking the timeline and budget to see if we can even fit this in. Gotta make sure it's feasible first.

Okay, I've got a plan. First, I'd look at whether this new requirement is actually tied to a real business need. That's key. Then I'd consult the technical team to see if it's even possible to implement in the timeframe.

The end date being greater than the start date makes sense as a valid check during import. I'll make sure to double-check that.

I'm leaning towards constructive discharge. Even though Tom isn't directly firing Mary, his actions are creating a situation that forces her to leave the job.

This seems straightforward - I'd go with option A to set up a low-priority rule to block all egress and a high-priority rule to allow only the necessary ports.

This is straightforward. I know the right answer involves using a proxy server and restricting external connections. Time to mark those down.

A is a good start, but I'd say B is the more critical first step. Can't get stakeholder buy-in without technical feasibility.
