Addressing that problem will require changes to the project plan and its subsidiary plans. One of the stakeholders previously indicated that any delays are unacceptable, and your team members tell you that it's possible the change could cause the team to miss at least one critical deadline. What is the BEST way to deal with this situation? A. Gather consensus among the team that you should make the change before approaching the stakeholders, so that they can see the team supports making the change. B. Deny the change because any delays are unacceptable. C. Analyze the impact that the change will have on the work to be done, the schedule and the budget. D. Make the change to the project plan and subsidiary plans, and ask the team to implement the change.
Answer: CExplanation: Not every change needs to be made. Before you make any change, you always need to evaluate its impact on the triple constraint - time, cost and scope - and how those changes will affect the quality of the deliverables. Until you analyze that impact, there's no way to know whether or not it makes sense to make the change.
Analyze the impact that the change will have on the work to be done, the schedule, and the budget.
This approach allows you to make an informed decision based on a thorough understanding of how the change will affect the project's scope, timeline, and cost. Once you have this information, you can communicate the potential impact to the stakeholders, including the one concerned about delays, and discuss possible solutions or adjustments to mitigate the risks. This method ensures transparency, maintains stakeholder trust, and bases decisions on data and analysis rather than assumptions or immediate reactions.
