Answer: → B. Determine the possible impact of this change on all aspects of the project → Flow: [Integration Performance Domain > Perform Integrated Change Control (Monitor & Control Project Work) → Receive Change Request (Sponsor) → Assess Impact on Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resources, Risks, Benefits, Stakeholder Engagement → Variance Analysis + Alternatives Identification → Update Change Log → Recommend Decision → Submit to Change Control Board (CCB) / Sponsor for Approval → Implement Approved Changes or Reject → Update Baselines & Project Management Plan → Communications Management]
A sponsor requests an additional deliverable at 70% project completion. What is the FIRST thing the project manager must do? 👉 Perform an impact analysis. Before discussing alternatives, approving, rejecting, or sending to the CCB, the project manager must determine: ✔ How this change affects scope ✔ Cost ✔ Schedule ✔ Quality ✔ Risks ✔ Resources ✔ Procurement ✔ Stakeholders This is the mandatory first step in integrated change control. Only after analyzing the impact can the PM: • Report the findings • Seek approval from the CCB • Negotiate • Implement or reject
My thought process is first the determine the impact of the suggested additional changes after which the project manager can now decide whether to accept or decline being that we have gone far within the project phases and any additional changes changes with evaluation could lead to scope creep
