Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
If Ike can complete the tasks without negatively impacting Project Flint, he should. This will ensure the corporation can benefit from the value they provide. Doing nothing is not optimal as Ike has the chance to deliver value earlier than expected. The steering committee is likely not the best option as they will require further information. Assigning a team member to investigate is not ideal as Ike is responsible for scheduling the project work.Discussion
