A new software solution is being deployed. The customer realizes that an important piece of the software must be purchased in order for the project to be successful. Which of the following is TRUE abo

While it might expand the scope, it does not necessarily require a new scope statement; rather, the existing scope statement would be updated through change control.

It is inefficient and unlikely that a critical, required piece for this project would wait for a new project; it would be integrated via change control.

While quality could be indirectly affected by delays or scope changes, the primary and immediate consequence is a change that impacts the project's planned execution, making quality metrics review a secondary step compared to initiating change control.

The realization that an important piece of software must be purchased represents a deviation from the original project plan, affecting scope, cost, and potentially the schedule. In such a scenario, the project manager must initiate and follow the established change control process to formally evaluate, approve, or reject this new requirement, ensuring all project baselines are updated accordingly. This formal process is crucial for managing project risks and maintaining control over the project's objectives.
