Why each option is right or wrong
A. Keep the existing roadmap unchanged until the next scheduled planning cycle is complete
Roadmap priorities should be adjusted to reflect organizational change, acquisitions, and new initiatives.
B. Reassess and adjust roadmap priorities to reflect the reorganization and acquisition
The source material directs organizations to adjust roadmap priorities to reflect organizational change, acquisitions, and new initiatives. Because the company has both reorganized business units and announced a major acquisition, the roadmap should be reassessed and updated now to stay aligned with current conditions.
C. Focus only on existing compliance projects because business structure changes do not affect priorities
Organizational change can require roadmap priority adjustments.
D. Delay roadmap updates unless a new initiative is launched after the acquisition closes
Acquisitions alone can justify adjusting roadmap priorities.
