Imagine you are a project manager at a software development company. A client has reported a critical bug in the software your team developed. You are tasked with resolving this issue as efficiently as possible. You decide to apply the "Six Steps in Decision Making" process. The first step you take is to understand the exact nature of the bug, which is to effectively define the problem. Next, you identify what a successful solution must accomplish, like resolving the bug without disrupting other functionalities of the software. You then brainstorm with your team to develop a range of possible solutions, after which you assess the pros and cons of each to evaluate the alternatives.

Based on this evaluation, you choose the most viable solution that meets the necessary requirements and has the least negative impact on the existing system. After making the decision, you implement the chosen solution and closely monitor the software for any signs of further issues or to confirm the success of the bug fix.

As a project manager, which of the following steps in the "Six Steps in Decision Making" process is most appropriate to execute AFTER you have evaluated the alternatives for fixing the software bug?
