A software migration project has just completed sprint planning after a change request that shifted two critical milestones by two weeks. The change was reviewed, approved by the change control board (CCB), and the project schedule has been updated in the PMIS. Several stakeholders in different regions depend on the new dates for their resource allocations. According to the change control process, what should the project manager do next to make sure every stakeholder is aware of the updated timeline?
Rely on team members to review the updated timeline independently
Update the project documents and notify all stakeholders about the change
Record the change in project documentation with no further notification
Wait until the next team meeting to mention the change
The project manager should both update the project documents (e.g., schedule, change log) and actively notify every stakeholder of the revision. Proactive, timely communication prevents misunderstandings, allows dependent teams to adjust their work, and is explicitly recommended in change-control best practices. Waiting for a later meeting, relying on stakeholders to notice the change themselves, or merely recording the update without outreach risks delays and confusion.
