Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Heather needs to assess how the organizational change will impact her current project and determine the required actions based on this assessment. If she continues working on her current project, she may not complete it in time due to the new changes to the organization. While Heather might write a letter of intent to the board of directors, this should only be done after assessing the organizational changes to her project. Heather may choose to notify her team members about the possibility of losing their jobs, but this should only be done after assessing the organizational changes to her project.Discussion
