Answer options

• C. Schedule a project decision meeting with all stakeholders to discuss the decision.
• D. Make the decision on behalf of the organization.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because scheduling a project decision meeting with all stakeholders ensures that everyone affected by the timeline change can provide input, leading to a more informed decision.
