Your product is used by businesses of various sizes. A very large company, that is interested in your product, would like a set of features implemented if they were to purchase your product. As a customer, this company would significantly increase your revenue. They also tell you that the features would improve your product and would win more customers. The requested features will be expensive and require extensive redesign. Also, you have not heard any similar feedback from any other customers or leads.
What is the most appropriate action? (choose the best answer)
- A . Create experiments to better understand their needs and possible alternatives.
- B . Implement the features in line with the request as they are an influential customer.
- C . Devise workarounds that will satisfy their request without needing a product redesign.

As more research and development is done, more information is learned about the project, and the uncertainty then tends to decrease, reaching 0% when all residual risk has been terminated or transferred

True or False: Running multiple experiments on the same product at the same time helps to reduce the cost and complexity of testing new ideas.
- A . False
- B . True

This is an ongoing activity to add details, such as a description, order, and size. Attributes often vary with the domain of work.
