900 for a logo? That seems a bit steep!

Using the change budget is a no-brainer here.

Wait, why would we need additional funding?

I’m leaning towards option D, but I’m not completely confident. It seems like we might need to request additional funding, but I can’t recall the exact rules.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide on funding options, and I feel like we should use both the change budget and part of the cost tolerance.

I think option B sounds right since the full 900 can come from the stage 2 cost tolerance, but I’m a bit confused about the change budget.

I remember that we can use the cost tolerance and change budget together, but I'm not sure how much of each to apply here.

This seems straightforward to me. The 900 needed for the change should be taken from the stage 2 cost tolerance, as stated in option B. I'm confident that's the right way to handle this.

Based on the information provided, I believe option A is the correct answer. We can use 400 from the stage 2 cost tolerance and the 500 change budget to cover the 900 cost of the change.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure which option is the best approach. I'll need to carefully review the details about the cost tolerance and change budget to decide how to fund this change.

Okay, let's see. The change is expected to cost 900 and delay the project by 3 days. The stage 2 cost tolerance of +1,000 hasn't been used, and the change budget of 500 is also available. I think option B is the right choice here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The question mentions minimizing development effort, so I'm not sure if creating a separate release view is the best approach. Maybe option A, using the default view, would be simpler?

I'm confident I know the answer to this. The key is understanding the different SQL statements that trigger a new transaction.
