Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add the feature to the Risk Register as an opportunity.
Why it's wrong here
A user request for a new feature is a change, not an uncertain risk event.
- ✓
Log the request as a Request for Change in the Issue Register and evaluate its impact.
Why this is correct
New features represent scope changes and must be processed via the Issue and Change control procedure.
- ✗
Reject the request because scope can never be changed after project initiation.
Why it's wrong here
Scope can be changed via formal Requests for Change approved by the Project Board.
- ✗
Implement the feature immediately since it fits within stage cost tolerance.
Why it's wrong here
Scope changes alter the product baseline and require formal logging and Project Board approval.
