Why each option
Upon receiving an approved change request, the project manager's immediate next step is to integrate the change into the project by developing an implementation plan.
Discussions with the change advisory board and impact analysis typically occur -before- a change request is approved, as part of the evaluation process.
A probability and impact assessment is part of the initial change request analysis and evaluation, which happens -before- approval, to determine whether the change should be approved.
Implementing a change immediately without a proper plan can lead to unforeseen issues, risks, and disruption; planning is crucial after approval.
Once a change request is approved, the project manager must proceed with integrating it into the project baseline. This involves developing a detailed plan for how the change will be implemented, including updating project documents, schedules, budgets, and resource assignments, before actual execution begins.
