Logging it in the risk register seems like overkill.

Wait, why would we need customer approval for this?

But isn't it better to start early if they're similar?

Totally agree, we can't rush it!

I think deferring the design is the safest bet.

Logging the issue in the risk register sounds familiar, but I wonder if that’s enough. We talked about the CCB process, but I’m not clear on when to involve them.

I feel like escalating to the customer might be a good option, but I can't recall if that’s the best approach here. It seems like it could complicate things.

I'm not sure, but I think starting the design of item B could save time later. We had a practice question about similar scenarios, and I chose to proceed with the design.

I remember we discussed the importance of prioritizing the current iteration's completion before starting new tasks. I think deferring the design of item B makes sense.

Okay, let's see. I think the address book and LDAP integration are definitely two of the functions, but I'm not sure about the other two options.

Okay, let me see. Salary has numerical values that can be added and subtracted, so I'm guessing it's either interval or ratio. I'll have to review the differences between those two to decide.

I think I read somewhere that UDP doesn't support this setup, but I can't remember if HTTP or HTTPS is the correct choice.

I think Activity and Service permissions are definitely component-level, but I'm not sure about Content Provider.
