While in an operations meeting, the project manager hears that a new enhancement is being released that will impact the agreed upon scope. Which of the following should the project manager do NEXT?

Any change impacting the agreed-upon scope must follow the project's change control process, which involves identifying the specific impact, thoroughly analyzing its consequences on cost, schedule, and quality, and formally documenting it as a change request for approval.

Logging the change and communicating it without formal analysis or approval bypasses the change control process and could lead to uncontrolled scope creep.

Informing the sponsor is part of the communication, but allowing the change to continue without proper analysis and approval is irresponsible and risks project failure.

Stopping development without first identifying the issue and performing an analysis might be an overreaction and could cause unnecessary delays or conflict without understanding the full implications.
