Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Before taking any action, Raquel should determine if the vendor can be brought in two weeks earlier. The answer to this question will guide her next decision. In the real world, Raquel could simply call the vendor and ask, but this is not a practical answer to the question. The product owner is unlikely to be able to assist. Adjusting the project schedule runs the risk of Project CF being off schedule. Delaying the project runs the risk of Project CF being off schedule.Discussion
