A new privacy law will go into effect at the beginning of the next calendar year. The project manager realizes the project needs to be compliant with the new law. What should the project manager do next?
A.
Inform the project steering committee of this constraint.
B.
Inform the project team and create a spike for the next Iteration.
C.
Inform the legal department that the project scope will be updated.
D.
Inform the product owner that the project will continue as planned.
A spike is a time-boxed activity that is used to explore a specific topic or issue, such as a new requirement, a technical challenge, or a risk. A spike can help the project team to gain more knowledge, reduce uncertainty, and plan better. In this case, the project manager should inform the project team of the new privacy law and create a spike for the next iteration to investigate how to comply with it and what impact it will have on the project scope, schedule, cost, and quality.
