QuestionQ261

Project Management Concepts

A few weeks before the project is scheduled for completion, the client requests that a new feature be added to the product under development. The project manager analyzes the schedule and concludes that the feature can be implemented fairly easily without affecting the completion date. Which action should the project manager take FIRST?

  • A Escalate the change to the CCB.
  • B Review the requested change.
  • C Document the change recommendations.
  • D Validate the implementation of the requested change.
Explanation

A new feature request is a change request and must first be reviewed and assessed before it is escalated for approval, documented as a recommendation, or validated after implementation. A favorable preliminary schedule impact does not eliminate the need to review the requested change through change control.
