As a project manager for an IT software development project, you have just received approval for a significant change request that will add new features to the project scope. What should you do next to ensure that the project reflects this change?
Update the project plan to incorporate the new features, adjusting timelines and resources as needed.
Direct the development team to immediately begin implementing the new features.
Schedule a meeting with stakeholders to review the approved changes and their implications.
Consider delaying implementation of the change until further analysis is performed on its impact.
The correct next step is to update the project plan to incorporate the new features, adjusting timelines, budgets, and resource allocations as necessary. This ensures that all aspects of the project are aligned with the new scope and provides clear guidance for the team moving forward. Directing the team to immediately begin implementation is incorrect because work should be based on the updated and approved project plan. Scheduling a meeting with stakeholders to review already approved changes would cause unnecessary delays, as the change has already been through the review and approval process. Considering delaying implementation for further analysis is also incorrect, as the impact analysis should have been completed prior to the change's approval.
