A project manager is overseeing a complex project involving multiple teams and stakeholders. During execution, the client asks for a significant modification to the project scope. What should the project manager do first to ensure proper integration of this modification into the project?
Evaluate the impact of the modification on project objectives and follow the project's change control process
Update the project management plan to reflect the requested modification
Implement the modification to meet the client's needs
Adjust the project schedule and budget to accommodate the scope modification
The project manager should first evaluate the impact of the modification on project objectives and follow the project's change control process. This involves analyzing how the change affects scope, schedule, cost, and quality, and submitting it for approval through the established change control procedures. Implementing or updating plans without approval could lead to unmanaged risks and misalignment with project objectives. Re-allocating resources or adjusting schedules before approval may waste resources and violate project governance.
