Question 560
A research consortium's sponsor asks to include five experiments although the original project funds only two. The team has identified a response and must obtain a justified decision before moving forward. What should accountable decision makers require before moving forward?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This decision respects the accountable project authority and the scenario’s remaining exposure: Use formal governance to trade scope against research value and remaining capacity. The response being governed is Prioritize hypotheses and define a bounded research scope consistent with resources and the charter. and the completion measure is Research milestones and acceptance evidence trace to a funded list of experiments.
Incorrect Answers
Require an approved alternative or compliant evidence before the procurement acceptance gate. That safeguard does not address the specific risk here: an unlimited experimental backlog invalidates the agreed schedule and funding assumptions. The relevant follow-up is: Use formal governance to trade scope against research value and remaining capacity.
Let the product owner authorize priority and acceptance criteria before commitment. That safeguard does not address the specific risk here: an unlimited experimental backlog invalidates the agreed schedule and funding assumptions. The relevant follow-up is: Use formal governance to trade scope against research value and remaining capacity.
Withhold deployment approval if critical cross-team acceptance conditions are not met. That safeguard does not address the specific risk here: an unlimited experimental backlog invalidates the agreed schedule and funding assumptions. The relevant follow-up is: Use formal governance to trade scope against research value and remaining capacity.
