When faced with a major process change in HR acquisition, especially one that implies longer processing times, it is essential for the project manager to first assess the impact of this change on the project’s objectives and deliverables. By reviewing the project management plan, the project manager can determine the appropriate adjustments to the project schedule, resources, and strategies to mitigate any negative effects on the project’s timeline and costs. This proactive approach aligns with the principles of effective project management, which include flexibility and responsiveness to changes within the project environment.
