Why each option

To evaluate the impact of a major change request affecting work package timetables, the project manager must first create a modified schedule and apply the Critical Path Method.

ACreate a modified version of the project schedule applying the critical path method.Correct

A major change affecting work package timetables necessitates understanding its impact on the overall project duration. Creating a modified project schedule and applying the Critical Path Method (CPM) will accurately determine the new critical path and potential delays.

BCall a project team meeting to use combined expert judgment to accept or reject the change

Accepting or rejecting the change is a decision that occurs after evaluating its impact, not the initial evaluation step itself.

CCreate a Pareto chart for the outputs from the specific work-packages identified by the

A Pareto chart is a quality management tool used to prioritize defects or causes, not for evaluating the schedule impacts of a change request.

DCrash the schedule to meet the original deadlines.

Crashing the schedule is a technique to shorten project duration and is a response to a schedule change, not the initial method for evaluating the impact of a change request.
