Explanation

Given that the project aligns with company goals, the next best business practice step is to verify the project scope. This is to ensure that the project scope has not drifted or become bloated ("scope creep"), which could be a primary reason for the delays and budget overruns. Verifying regulatory requirements, technical resources, or capacity constraints are also important but come after confirming the project scope to understand if the project as defined is still manageable and properly controlled.
