Some of the stakeholders' suggestions go against some local laws that Victoria is familiar with for the project. What should Victoria do next?

Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Before doing anything else, Victoria should first work with the stakeholder to see if the tasks can be made compliant. This will help ensure the stakeholder gets what they need, and the project remains compliant with local laws. Reporting the stakeholder to the legal team will not help the project move forward and will negatively impact their relationship. Asking the legal team for a risk assessment is not the best option as other, compliant options may exist. Accepting the suggestions puts the project, and potentially Creation Corporation, at risk.Discussion
