PMP · Question 75 · Task 3: Evaluate and address external business environment changes for impact on scope
A project manager is working on a regulatory compliance project where the regulatory agency has updated their requirements midway through the project.

What should the project manager do?
Answer options:
Continue with the original requirements since the work is already in progress
Assess the impact of the new requirements and present options to the sponsor
Negotiate with the regulatory agency to delay implementation of the new requirements
Implement the new requirements without informing the sponsor to avoid concerns
