- A Schedule the task for immediate work.
- B Bring up the task at the next sprint review.
- C Do nothing. Only planned tasks may be worked on in a project.
- D Submit the task to the change control board.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Despite its criticality, Larry should still follow the project’s change control processes, and this will ensure the task is properly integrated into the project. Slotting the task in for immediate work is not ideal as this likely violates the project’s change control process. Sprint reviews are only found in agile projects. Doing nothing risks critical work being missed by Project Q.Discussion
