QuestionQ336

Project Management Concepts

While developing a project charter, a PM discovers that some of the legal requirements have not been addressed during the project concept preparation, which could result in significant financial penalties against the organization. The PM knows that implementation of appropriate changes is costly and will exceed the budget and scope of the project. Which of the following should the PM do FIRST?

  • A Escalate the finding to the change control board.
  • B Add a risk to the risk register for validation.
  • C Consult the RACI matrix to identify ownership of the risk.
  • D Have a meeting with the project sponsor and main stakeholders.
Explanation

Unaddressed legal requirements during the planning phase require immediate escalation to the project sponsor and stakeholders before formal change control processes. This issue threatens organizational compliance and project feasibility. Once baselines are approved, the Change Control Board would handle scope/budget changes, but sponsor approval is the first critical step.
