I lean towards the idea that all project stakeholders should be informed. It seems like a fundamental part of project management to keep everyone in the loop.

I think reviewing the status before the launch is crucial. We had a practice question that emphasized how oversight can lead to surprises like this.

I remember we discussed the importance of communication in our last study session, but I'm not sure if it was about informing all stakeholders or just the requirement's source.

This is a good test of our understanding of project management best practices. I'll review the options and choose the one that best addresses the communication breakdown described in the question.

Okay, I think I've got this. The stakeholder was surprised, so the status change wasn't properly communicated. Option C seems like the best choice to prevent that in the future.
