A project manager is leading a complex construction project. During a weekly progress review, the client requests a modification to the building's HVAC system to incorporate a more energy-efficient technology. The project manager submitted the change request, and the change control board (CCB) has just formally approved it. To ensure the project continues to progress smoothly and without confusion, what is the project manager's most critical next action?
Immediately instruct the engineering team to begin implementing the change to avoid schedule delays.
Conduct a detailed risk assessment on the new HVAC technology before updating any plans.
Submit a new change request to the CCB to secure additional funding for the more expensive system.
Update the project management plan and relevant project documents, and then communicate the change to stakeholders.
The correct answer is to update the project management plan and communicate the change to stakeholders. According to the Perform Integrated Change Control process, once a change is approved, it is essential to incorporate it into the project management plan. This includes updating any relevant project documents such as the scope statement, WBS, schedule, and budget. This ensures that the project team has a clear and current set of instructions. Communicating the approved change and the updated plans to all relevant stakeholders is also a critical step to ensure everyone is aware of the new direction and its impacts on the project.
