   A security team is implementing a new SIEM platform. During user acceptance testing, the compliance officer requests an additional dashboard that shows real-time failed login attempts by region. The project manager recognizes this is not in the approved scope. The compliance officer insists it is a minor addition and threatens to delay the go-live approval if it is not included. What is the most appropriate action for the project manager?

   • AInstruct the team to build the dashboard quietly and document it as a post-project enhancement to avoid delaying the go-live.
   • BAdd the dashboard to the project scope and update the project schedule to reflect the additional work.
   • CExplain the scope change request process and submit the dashboard as a formal change request for review by the change control board.
   • DRefuse the request and inform the compliance officer that all scope changes must wait until after the project closes.
