Explanation

In an organization with a strong PMO and mature control processes, any deviation from the approved plan - including schedule compression techniques like fast-tracking - must go through formal change control. The NEXT step is to initiate a change request (C) so that the proposed change can be reviewed, evaluated, and approved through the established process. Announcing it to the team (A) or modifying the schedule (B) before approval would bypass governance. Obtaining approval (D) comes after the change request is formally submitted and evaluated.
