    PMP · Question 35 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    A project manager is leading a project with a fixed budget. A key stakeholder demands a change that is critical for compliance but will cause a budget overrun. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Reject the change due to the fixed budget.

    B.

    Implement the change and hope to save money elsewhere.

    C.

    Analyze the impact and submit a change request to the governance board requesting additional funds or scope reduction elsewhere.

    D.

    Use the management reserve without informing the sponsor.

    How to approach this question

    Compliance = Mandatory. Budget = Constraint. Solution = Governance/Trade-off.

    Full Answer

    Task 1 (Compliance) + Task 5 (Budget). When constraints collide, governance (Task 14) is the resolution path.
