Assess the impact of the requested change on the project's objectives, timeline, and budget
The correct answer is to assess the impact of the requested change on the project's objectives, timeline, and budget. As a project manager, it is essential to evaluate the implications of any change request before making a decision. Changes can affect various aspects of the project, such as scope, schedule, cost, and quality. By assessing the impact, you can determine whether the change is feasible and aligns with the project's goals. Implementing the change without proper assessment may lead to project delays, cost overruns, or compromised quality. Simply rejecting the change outright without evaluation may damage stakeholder relationships and potentially miss opportunities for improvement.
