A proof of concept is becoming a governed production system. How should the model progress through the remaining lifecycle stages?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Working prototype has proven the idea, not that it's safe to ship. You need staged reviews that check risk, controls, and sign-off before the model advances.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is the structured workflow approach that reviews risk, controls, and requires sign-off at each key stage before the model advances. Lifecycle governance exists precisely because accuracy alone does not establish that risk, controls, and accountability have been addressed at each stage a model passes through. The direct-to-production option is incorrect because accuracy is one input among several; it says nothing about data handling, bias, monitoring readiness, or who is accountable in production. The informal self-approval option is incorrect because self-approval removes the independent check that structured review is meant to provide. The skip-review option is incorrect because risk can change even without code changes, for example if the intended use or data source shifts. For the exam, expect every stage transition to require a documented, reviewed sign-off.
