The project manager of a multinational software development project notices significant changes in data protection regulations in the European Union. Which of the following actions should the project manager take first to ensure that the project scope and backlog reflect these changes?
Review the changes in the data protection regulations to understand the specifics and their implications on the project.
Pause all project activities until the implications of the new regulations are clearer.
Inform all stakeholders about potential impacts without reviewing the changes.
Hire a legal consultant to handle any adjustments needed without reviewing the regulations personally.
Reviewing the specific changes in data protection regulations is the correct first step because it allows the project manager to understand the nature and extent of the changes before making decisions on how to update the project scope or backlog. It ensures informed decision-making, tailoring the scope changes based on precise regulatory requirements. Simply informing the stakeholders or hiring a consultant without understanding the changes could lead to unnecessary adjustments or incorrect focus, while pausing all activities can disrupt project timelines unnecessarily.
