Question

During the design phase the project team is exploring various architecture options. After reviewing the results of design pilot, two conflicting infrastructure pieces were identified. What action should the project manager take?

BEscalate the situation and request approval to move forward.
CConfirm the results through a second pilot.
DUpdate the assumptions log and assess the risk associated with it.

Explanation

A conflict between two infrastructure pieces discovered during a design pilot most likely indicates that an underlying project assumption was incorrect. The correct first response is to update the assumptions log to reflect this new information and then formally assess the risk it introduces. Simply reassessing the design (A) skips formal risk documentation. Escalating immediately (B) is premature before the risk is understood. Running a second pilot (C) delays risk assessment and may not resolve a conflict rooted in flawed assumptions.
