A project manager is currently in the process of monitoring and controlling a large construction project. Unexpected weather conditions have caused significant delays, and work performance data indicates that the project will not meet its original timelines. Which of the following actions should the project manager take in accordance to the project management best practices for managing these kinds of situation?
Inform the stakeholders about the delay, continue with the original project management plan.
Update the project management plan to reflect the revised project schedule, incorporating the delays and proposing new timelines.
Reduce the project scope to meet the original deadline.
Do not take any action as the environmental conditions are beyond the control of the project team.
The correct action is to update the project management plan to reflect the revised project schedule. This action aligns with project monitoring and control best practices, which involve assessing project performance and implementing necessary changes to the project management plan. Updating the plan allows for re-evaluation of project objectives and readjustment of timelines, considering the changes in environmental conditions. Merely informing the stakeholders or continuing without adjustments could lead to further delays, and reducing the scope without proper analysis may compromise project deliverables or objectives.
