   A manufacturing company is using PRiSM to manage a project that will introduce a new product line. The project manager is facing a conflict: the most sustainable manufacturing process requires a significant upfront investment, which will increase the project's cost and extend the schedule. However, the process will reduce long-term operational costs and environmental impact. The project sponsor is pressuring the team to minimize upfront costs. According to PRiSM principles, what should the project manager do?

   • ADelay the project until the sponsor agrees to the sustainable process.
   • BFollow the sponsor's directive to minimize upfront costs, as the sponsor has the final authority.
   • CProceed with the sustainable process without consulting the sponsor, as sustainability is the highest priority in PRiSM.
   • DPresent the sponsor with a lifecycle cost analysis that includes the long-term savings and environmental benefits of the sustainable process.
