Sarah is managing a large infrastructure project with multiple teams working on interconnected components. Midway through the project, a key stakeholder requests a significant change to one of the deliverables. What should Sarah do first to address this request?
Seek approval from the project sponsor to increase the project budget.
Evaluate the impact of the requested change on the project's scope, schedule, and cost before proceeding.
Implement the change to keep the stakeholder satisfied.
Reject the change to prevent delays in the project timeline.
When a significant change is requested, the project manager should first assess how the change will affect all aspects of the project, including scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, and risks. This evaluation is essential to make informed decisions and is a key aspect of applying an integration management plan. Implementing the change without assessment can lead to project overruns and unforeseen issues. Rejecting the change outright may not address stakeholder needs, and seeking budget approval before understanding the impact is premature.
