Explanation
A project manager refusing an informal change request during delivery is most likely preventing scope creep, which occurs when unapproved additions expand the project beyond its agreed baseline.
Common mistakes.
- A. A communication plan governs how and when information is shared among stakeholders and is not a mechanism for refusing a change request.
- C. Resource constraints might influence whether a change could be accommodated, but they are not the primary or most likely reason a PM refuses an unplanned in-flight change.
- D. An iterative approach is a delivery methodology that embraces change through defined iteration cycles, making it more likely to support change requests rather than refuse them.
