    PMP · Question 10 · Task 10: Manage project changes

    A key stakeholder requests a significant feature addition during the execution phase of a predictive project. The change would add substantial business value but would impact the timeline by 6 weeks and increase the budget by 15%. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Implement the change immediately since it adds substantial business value

    B.

    Reject the change to protect the project baseline and maintain schedule commitments

    C.

    Assess the full impact on scope, schedule, cost, and quality, then submit to the change control board

    D.

    Negotiate with the stakeholder to defer the change to a future project phase

    How to approach this question

    In predictive projects, follow formal change control processes. Impact assessment must precede any decisions about accepting, rejecting, or modifying changes.
