Question 1090
Two developers overwrite scripts and the project manager cannot map the surviving version to the change authorization. Which project-management response BEST addresses the stated need?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Record each change request, disposition, approval, and deployed version so stakeholders can reconstruct authorized project evolution. This targets the specific project decision. Change logs track project decisions while version control tracks exact file revisions; both support auditability but are not interchangeable. Before committing, assess: Inspect change IDs, approval signatures, implementation dates, source commits, and release notes. Situation: Two developers overwrite scripts and the project manager cannot map the surviving version to the change authorization.
Incorrect Answers
Use a ticketing system with status, ownership, priority, resolution history, and escalation tracking for operational and project defects. That response is associated with Ticketing and case management workflow and does not directly settle this case. Its relevant principle is: Ticket systems manage discrete actionable requests and incidents; an informal mailbox alone lacks reliable assignment and status controls. The stated case instead calls for: Record each change request, disposition, approval, and deployed version so stakeholders can reconstruct authorized project evolution. Situation: Two developers overwrite scripts and the project manager cannot map the surviving version to the change authorization.
Select video calls for interactive decision-making and durable written channels for distributed asynchronous status updates. That response is associated with Meeting channels and asynchronous project updates and does not directly settle this case. Its relevant principle is: Communication tools serve different needs: video supports rich synchronous discussion while email and shared records support asynchronous traceability. The stated case instead calls for: Record each change request, disposition, approval, and deployed version so stakeholders can reconstruct authorized project evolution. Situation: Two developers overwrite scripts and the project manager cannot map the surviving version to the change authorization.
Use a requirements traceability matrix to link each accepted requirement to design, tests, defects and final acceptance evidence. That response is associated with Requirements Traceability Matrix and does not directly settle this case. Its relevant principle is: Traceability proves which requirements were implemented and tested; a count of passing tests without requirement mapping may hide omissions. The stated case instead calls for: Record each change request, disposition, approval, and deployed version so stakeholders can reconstruct authorized project evolution. Situation: Two developers overwrite scripts and the project manager cannot map the surviving version to the change authorization.
