A. B. C. D.D.
In this scenario, the team needs to consult the appropriate plan to determine the next steps to take when a change cannot be finalized due to its severe impact on other critical systems. The plans to consider are as follows:
A. Incident Response Plan: This plan outlines the steps that should be taken in the event of an incident or unexpected event, such as a system failure, security breach, or other type of emergency. While this plan may be useful in determining how to respond to the impact of the change, it is not directly relevant to determining what actions to take with respect to the change itself.
B. Regression Plan: A regression plan outlines the steps that should be taken to return a system or application to a previous state if a change causes unexpected or undesirable effects. While this plan may be useful in determining how to undo the change, it does not address the larger question of how to proceed with the project in light of the change's impact on critical systems.
C. Progress Plan: A progress plan outlines the steps that should be taken to move a project forward and achieve its goals. While this plan may be useful in determining how to proceed with the project, it does not address the specific issue of how to handle the change that cannot be finalized.
D. Business Continuity Plan: A business continuity plan outlines the steps that should be taken to ensure that critical business functions can continue in the event of a disruption or disaster. This plan is the most relevant in this scenario because it addresses the issue of how to handle a situation where a change cannot be finalized due to its impact on critical systems. The team should consult the business continuity plan to determine how to proceed with the project while minimizing the impact on critical systems.
In conclusion, the team should consult the Business Continuity Plan to determine which actions to take when a change cannot be finalized due to its impact on critical systems.
