Minor scope changes usually require formal approval, just saying.

Really? Can they just decide on their own without consulting anyone?

No way should they just use the contingency fund! That's risky.

I think option C is the best way to go. Change control is key!

I recall that keeping changes pending until the end could create problems, so I don't think option D is a good idea. I lean towards option B, but I’m not sure if that’s the best approach either.

I’m a bit confused about whether the project manager has enough authority to make the change without approval. I think option C makes sense, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like we had a similar practice question where the project manager had to balance customer satisfaction with proper procedures. I think option A could lead to issues later on.

I remember discussing the importance of following the change control process in class, so I think option C might be the right choice, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm a little confused here. Is Pareto analysis also a valid technique for this type of cost-benefit analysis? I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand the differences between these techniques.

Okay, I think I've got this. Since the question specifies "single-fiber" bidirectional WDM, the signals in each direction need to be at different wavelengths to avoid interference. So the answer must be A, True.

Okay, I think I've got it. Option A, discussing risks with the audit client, seems like the least likely to help ensure risk is considered. The other options seem more directly focused on risk assessment.

I'm not entirely sure, though. I feel like I've seen similar questions where the answer was "False" because of specific vendor restrictions.
