Evaluating sources for requirements sounds like something we should do, but I wonder if that happens later in the process.

I feel like identifying user classes and their requirements might come after stakeholder identification, but I could be wrong.

Ooh, good point Sarah. And I'd also want to make sure I'm aligning the sponsor's expectations with the overall project goals. That can be a tricky balance to strike.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I think I'd want to make sure I understand the different classes of users and their specific requirements too. That feels important for defining the project scope.

For this type of question, I'd probably try to hit all the key elements - stakeholders, user requirements, sponsor alignment. Evaluating and prioritizing the sources for requirements is also crucial, in my opinion.

I'm leaning towards Digital Engagement. The question talks about student requests, so a solution that focuses on customer/student interactions could be the way to go.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The question is clearly asking about the Intermediate Routing pattern, and it specifies that the service agents must be active and change data in the message. So the answer has to be True.

Option D sounds tempting, but you can't prioritize requirements without first knowing who's involved. Gotta start with A and then work your way through the other steps.
