PMP · Question 94 · 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 8 weeks and increase the budget by 20%. The change also affects multiple other project components. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Implement the change immediately since it adds substantial business value to the project
Reject the change to protect the project baseline, timeline, and budget commitments
Conduct a comprehensive impact assessment on scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and component integration, then submit to change control board
Negotiate with the stakeholder to implement a reduced version of the feature that has less impact
