A project manager is assigned to a project that has a tight schedule. Due to recent market changes the marketing team has identified that a few features that were initially in the scope are no longer required
What should the project manager do?
A.
Advise the marketing team that at this stage of the project changes to the scope are no longer accepted
B.
Escalate the issue to the project management office (PMO) and make sure they understand the impact on the schedule due to the change
C.
Update the risk register with input from marketing and sales and highlight the benefits of the features m discussion
D.
Review the change request with the project stakeholders and evaluate the impact of the scope reduction
When changes to the project scope are identified, it’s important for the project manager to review these changes with the project stakeholders. This allows for a collective understanding of the impact of the scope reduction on the project’s objectives, deliverables, and schedule. It also ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and in agreement with the proposed changes. This approach is in line with the PMBOK® Guide’s emphasis on integrated change control, which involves reviewing all change requests, approving changes, and managing changes to deliverables, organizational process assets, project documents, and the project management plan.
