Isn't it weird to mix program and project roles?

Wait, shouldn't the project manager handle that?

I feel like option D might be correct since keeping structures separate is important, but I need to double-check my notes on that.

I'm leaning towards option C because I thought project managers should handle their own support, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I remember a practice question where the project manager had to justify support requests, so I feel like option B could be valid too.

I think option A makes sense since the program office is there to support projects, but I'm not entirely sure if it's mandatory.

Alright, let's do this. Normalized, Partially Normalized, and Manually Normalized are for sure. Then I'll go with Match Not Found, New, and Found to round out the six.

Ah, this is a good one. I remember learning about the different time periods that can be used in planning software. I think the key is to identify the standard options and then consider if any custom periods might also be needed.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The demand planning phase is about forecasting future demand, and the supply planning phase is about aligning supply to meet that demand. Capacity planning is all about ensuring the supply side has the right capacity, so it must happen in the supply planning phase. I'll go with option B.
