Project Management Professional Practice Question

A project manager for a multi-year infrastructure project is in the monitoring and controlling phase. Several suppliers are delivering specialized components under fixed-price contracts. During status meetings the suppliers frequently mention design tweaks requested informally by engineers on site. The tweaks appear minor, but the procurement officer warns that even small undocumented adjustments could invalidate warranty clauses and trigger claims later. The sponsor insists that contractual integrity be preserved and that no scope creep be introduced through back-door contractual changes. Which aspect of the Control Procurements process must the project manager manage proactively to uphold the original contract terms and prevent unauthorized modifications?

  • Implementing a structured change control system to manage procurement changes and contract amendments.

  • Focusing on the resolution of claims administration outside the established contractual agreements.

  • Delegating procurement control to team members who specialize in the topic.

  • Prioritizing the renegotiation of contract terms to reflect the current progress of project deliverables.
