During the execution phase of a project, a team member suggests a beneficial change that could improve the project's deliverable. What should the project manager do first?
Reject the change to prevent scope creep
Implement the change to take advantage of the improvement
Evaluate the change's impact on project scope, schedule, and cost
Forward the suggestion to senior management for approval
The project manager should first evaluate the change's impact on the project's scope, schedule, and cost before proceeding. This assessment is part of the change control process to determine if the change is feasible and aligns with project objectives. Implementing the change without evaluation could lead to unintended consequences like scope creep or budget overruns. Rejecting the change outright may overlook potential improvements, and forwarding the suggestion to senior management without initial assessment may waste stakeholders' time.
