During the execution of a software development project, the change control board (CCB) approves a request that adds significant new functionality. What is the project manager's most appropriate initial action regarding the project schedule?
Immediately update the schedule baseline to reflect the change.
Analyze the impact of the new functionality on the existing schedule.
Inform stakeholders that the project's end date will be delayed.
Apply schedule compression techniques to accommodate the new work.
The correct answer is to first analyze the full impact of the approved change on the schedule. Before any updates to baselines or communication of delays, a thorough analysis is required to understand the consequences of the change. This analysis will inform the subsequent steps, such as updating the schedule baseline, applying compression techniques if needed, and communicating revised timelines to stakeholders.
