    PMP · Question 61 · Task 10: Manage project changes

    During project execution, a major client requests a significant scope addition that would add substantial value but also increase the project timeline by 8 weeks and budget by 25%. The client is willing to accept the timeline and budget increases. However, the change would require renegotiating contracts with two key vendors. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Accept the change since the client is willing to pay for the additional scope and timeline

    B.

    Begin renegotiating vendor contracts to understand the feasibility of the change

    C.

    Conduct a comprehensive impact assessment including vendor contract implications and submit to change control board

    D.

    Negotiate with the client to implement the change in a future project phase

    How to approach this question

    For significant change requests, conduct comprehensive impact assessment including all implications before making decisions, even when clients are willing to accept costs.

    Full Answer

    C.Conduct a comprehensive impact assessment including vendor contract implications and submit to change control board✓ Correct
    C
    Change management requires comprehensive impact assessment including vendor, resource, risk, and other implications before making decisions, regardless of client willingness to accept costs.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose immediate acceptance (A) based on client willingness to pay, or contract negotiation (B), missing the need for comprehensive impact assessment first.
