this question that tests your knowledge of earned value management (EVM) and cost management. The correct answer is D. Ask the team to focus on and deliver only the agreed-upon features. The reason is that the team is adding scope creep, which is adding features that are not part of the original requirements or scope baseline. This causes the actual cost (AC) to be higher than the earned value (EV), which means the project is over budget. The project manager should control the scope and ensure that only the features that are approved by the change control board (CCB) are implemented. Requesting additional budget (A) or asking the product owner to add the features to the requirements (B) are not good practices, as they do not follow the change management process. Encouraging the team to continue © may not satisfy the customer or stakeholders, as they may not need or want the extra features.
