  Once a change request is approved by the CCB, the change must be integrated into the project in a controlled manner. The immediate next step is to evaluate and update the project management plan and its components—including the scope, schedule, cost baselines, and related documents—to reflect the approved change. This ensures the change is properly incorporated and managed before any execution work (like modifying the design) begins. You cannot correctly implement or communicate the change until you understand how it affects the plan and baselines.

  C. Communicate the decision to the stakeholder who requested the change. Why? The sequence in PMBOK after a change request is reviewed by the CCB is: Change request submitted. CCB reviews and approves/rejects. Communicate the disposition (decision) of the change request to relevant stakeholders. Update project documents and plans as needed. Implement the approved change. The question asks "What should the project manager do now?" immediately after the CCB has accepted the change request. The next action is to communicate the decision.

  Approved change request → Update Project Management Plan first → Then communicate and execute.
