The key stakeholder requires the project manager to advance the completion date before funding runs out. The project manager has had problems with this stakeholder in the past and wants to document…

A project change request form formally documents the stakeholder's request, creating an official record that protects the project manager and ensures the request follows the integrated change control process.

Analyzing project impact is required before any change can be approved or rejected, as it quantifies the effect on scope, schedule, cost, and quality - informing the decision-making process.

The project scope statement should only be updated after a change request has been approved through the change control process, not as an immediate response.

The scope management plan defines how scope changes are handled and would not be revised simply because a stakeholder made a schedule request.

Monitoring work performance tracks current project execution against the baseline and does not address documenting or evaluating a stakeholder change request.
