A project manager is reviewing lessons learned from a previous project and notices that scope creep occurred because stakeholders requested changes after the project moved into the execution phase. Which action should the project manager take in the current project to prevent this issue?

Trap 1: Close the project early if any scope changes are requested.

Closing early is not a standard practice and would prevent delivering planned value.

Trap 2: Involve all stakeholders in the project planning phase to ensure…

While important, this alone does not prevent scope creep without a formal change control process.

Trap 3: Include a detailed list of all deliverables in the project charter…

The project charter is a high-level document; detailed scope is in the scope statement, and a CCB is still needed.

Refer to the exhibit. A developer deployed a new version of an application to production. After restarting the service, the application fails to connect to the database. What is the most likely cause?

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

=== C:\Project\Build\app.config ===
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="DatabaseServer" value="prod-db-01.internal.company.com"/>

  </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

=== Deployment Instructions ===
1. Copy app.config to C:\App\
2. Update connection string for environment
3. Restart service

=== Error after deployment ===
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "SalesDB" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'app_user'.

Trap 1: The database server name in the configuration is incorrect.

The server name appears valid and the error is about database access, not server resolution.

Trap 2: The application is not configured to use the correct environment.

The environment key is set to Production, which is appropriate.

Trap 3: The password in the connection string is incorrect.

If the password were wrong, the error would be 'Login failed for user' but could also be 'password mismatch'. However, the error message specifically says 'Cannot open database' which suggests the login succeeded but database access is denied.

A project is in the execution phase, developing a mobile payment application. The project manager receives a report that a critical security vulnerability was discovered in the third-party authentication library used by the application. The library is widely used and has an available patch that requires upgrading to a newer version. However, upgrading the library will break compatibility with the existing user authentication database schema, requiring a database migration that was not planned. The project has a fixed budget and a tight deadline. The change control board (CCB) meets weekly, and the next meeting is in three days. The lead developer recommends applying the patch immediately without waiting for CCB approval, arguing that the security risk is high and the patch is straightforward. What is the BEST course of action for the project manager?
