What if the team member can't work from home at all?

D seems like the best option to keep things on track.

Surprised they’d even consider working from home!

I think assigning it to someone else is risky.

Definitely should review team capacity first.

I vaguely recall something about remote work options, but I feel like that might not be feasible. Option C seems risky.

I think we practiced a similar scenario where we had to consult with the product owner first. Option D might be the way to go.

I'm not sure if assigning the feature to someone else right away is a good idea. It could lead to rushed work.

I remember we discussed how important it is to assess team capacity in situations like this. Maybe option B is the best choice?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the circular migration scenario. I'll need to think that one through carefully.

This looks like a probability question involving a binomial distribution. I'll need to think through the steps to calculate the probability of the lot being rejected.

I remember discussing production control systems in class, and I thought "Master system" seemed like a plausible option since it's supposed to guide operations.

I like the idea of using a custom Power Automate flow. That way, I can control the data source and the update frequency to ensure the currency rates are always up-to-date.

I'm a little confused on this one. What's the difference between capacity on demand and software-defined storage? I need to review those concepts before I can decide.
