The team meets with their stakeholders to discuss the impact to the project and determine that additional laws need to be taken into account before go-live. The NEXT step the project manager needs to take is:

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Create a change request. New government laws affecting the product introduce new requirements that alter the project's scope, schedule, or budget. Therefore, the next formal step is to create a change request to properly document, evaluate the impact, and seek approval for incorporating these new legal requirements into the project.

Answer

A. Re-direct the development team. Re-directing the development team immediately without a formal change process can lead to uncontrolled scope changes, lack of proper resource allocation, and potential unapproved work.
