Collect Requirements process inputs
On a project to build a new corporate intranet, the project manager makes a request that you, her mentor, to help her collect requirements. She lays out a plan and asks you if you prefer to help her with interviewing stakeholders or creating prototypes. However, before deciding, you want to ensure that she is ready to start this step.

B. Ask her if which task she needs more guidance with
C. Ensure that the schedule is realistic and can accommodate both tasks

Answer: D. Ask her if she has an approved project charter
The project charter, along with stakeholder register, is an input to the Collect Requirements process. Without the approved charter, the project does not exist and therefore, any requirements work would be premature. None of the other choices should even be considered unless the charter is signed, which gives the project the go-ahead.
