Explanation
When a project sponsor - the highest authority on a project - requests an urgent, beneficial scope change, the project manager should first notify the project team to prioritize the work.
Common mistakes.
- A. Asking the sponsor to submit a formal change request delays action when the authorizing executive has already communicated the change; formal documentation follows team mobilization in an urgent scenario.
- B. Documenting the change and notifying stakeholders is a necessary step but occurs after the team has been directed to act on the sponsor's urgent request.
- C. Updating the project schedule with new estimates requires team input first; revising the schedule cannot be the first action before the team has assessed the work involved.
