Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
While every task may be important, having all tasks ranked as the highest priority will result in the ranking losing its meaning. Zane should work with stakeholders to stack rank their objectives. Prioritizing every task as high is not the best answer because having all tasks ranked as the highest priority will result in the ranking losing all meaning. Agreeing, then changing the priorities, later risks negatively impacting his relationship with the stakeholders. The steering committee is not the best option as they are not responsible for ranking tasks.Discussion
