a. You implement an issue tracking process managed at the project level by you and Shirley. She asks why you dont just have the agile development team manage issues in their daily meetings.

Your team is making good progress on the web site development. You are sending your status reports and updating the project web page. You get few comments, so you assume all is well. About half-way through the project you demonstrate your site to the hospital leadership team. The call center director says your workflow is all wrong, and the portal will not work with their process. Fixing it will cost you six-weeks.

Your development team says they may need new testing software and more help to stay on schedule. You are losing track of issues, and your steering team is starting to hear complaints about your responsiveness. What do you do
