What is part of the recommended protocol when you encounter a broken system?

• A. Inform only the fixers
• B. Inform fixers and people whose work might be interrupted
• C. Ignore the issue
• D. Wait for someone else to report it

Answer: (B)

When a system breaks, the priority is timely, accurate communication to those who can fix it and to those whose work will be affected. Inform fixers so they can start diagnosing and repairing, and inform people whose tasks might be interrupted so they can pause work, safeguard what they’re doing, and plan any needed alternatives. This coordination helps minimize downtime and confusion. Informing only the fixers leaves others in the dark, while ignoring the issue or waiting for someone else to report it delays the response and can worsen the impact.
