A project is 20% complete. The client has accepted a project order amendment that involves a major change. Without this major change, the project result will be useless for the client organization.
What should the project manager do?
A.
Update the project status from "active" to "on hold" until there is more clarity on the scope of the change.
B.
Initiate planning for the project with the modified scope as laid out in the client's purchase order.
C.
Set up a meeting with the client and the project team to identify ways to safeguard the project from the change.
D.
Consult the project sponsor to understand if the change must be processed for project execution.
If the client has already approved a change through a formal project order amendment, the project manager must initiate re-planning with the new scope. This aligns with adaptive and traditional approaches where major scope changes require updates to planning documents.
Option A delays necessary rework.
Option C addresses risk mitigation, but re-planning must begin first.
Option D is unnecessary because the client has already accepted the amendment.
