Making the project mandatory is the correct response. A project usually begins by assessing the value of it in financial terms. Organizations look at the financial drawbacks of not undertaking a project, such as possible fines, lawsuits,
and the risk of the business shutting down. The other responses are incorrect. Projects should be marked mandatory so that time is not wasted on trying to make the team understand the importance of the project; money spent on outsourcing;
deferring the project to another time.
