Answer: D
It is important that quality processes are appropriate to
individual projects. Attempts to apply inappropriate
processes will often find their abandonment under pressure.
A fast-tracking process is an acceptable option under
certain circumstances. However, it is important that the
project steering committee is informed of the risks
associated with this (i.e., possibility of rework if changes
are required).
