Answer options

• A. Issues identified during user acceptance testing (UAT) have been addressed prior to the original implementation date.
• B. Technical specifications and development requirements have been agreed upon and formally recorded.
• C. Project plan due dates have been documented for each phase of the software development life cycle.
• D. The planned software go-live date has been communicated in advance to end users and stakeholders.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because addressing issues during user acceptance testing shows proactive project management and readiness to meet deadlines. Options B, C, and D, while important for project organization and communication, do not directly indicate that the project is on track for timely completion.
