Some people may think this question has more than one right answer. It does not. There are many things the project manager can do, but what should be done?

This is a question with more than one right answer. The question is really asking which is MOST important. The easiest way to deal with these questions is to look for the choice that will have the biggest impact on the project. Choice A is important, but look again at choice C. It is a method of recording the change, like choice A, but it is more specific and detailed. Be careful about choices like D. Changes are not bad and should not generally be prevented.

Cost increases (choice B) and contract disputes (choice C) will not necessarily interfere with schedule. Notice the words “post-implementation” in choice D. It will not definitely interfere with the project schedule. Choice A is the only one that deals with a time delay.

Major project constraints include scope, time, cost, quality, risk, resources, and customer satisfaction. This question talks about a change in scope. It would be most important to look for impacts to other project constraints. After that is completed, the impact to subsequent work packages would be evaluated.
