Why each option
Before presenting a change request to the change control board (CCB), the project manager must comprehensively analyze its potential impact across all project elements to provide the CCB with a complete picture.
Suggesting the board study the cost is insufficient; the project manager should perform this analysis as part of the impact assessment and present the findings to the board.
The project manager is responsible for performing a thorough impact analysis on all project areas, including scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, and risks, to provide the change control board with essential information for decision-making.
While reviewing with the project sponsor is a good practice, the critical prerequisite for CCB presentation is the project manager's detailed impact analysis of the change.
Requesting team member input on value is valuable for initial assessment, but it does not replace the project manager's primary responsibility to conduct a full impact analysis on the entire project.
