After a change request was approved, you notice that the change contradicts the original requirements of the projects. Data specialists conducted an analysis before the change request was approved. What should the PM do?
A. Enact the change immediately
B. Reject the change request
C. Thoroughly review the data analysis
D. Run a feasibility study of the new product
A. Enact the change immediately
Reasons: The change has been approved and the analysis was completed. The next step is enacting the change. Changes can and should contradict the original requirements, that’s what changes are.
C. Thoroughly review the data analysis
Here’s the rationale behind this choice:
Options A and B are too immediate and final without a detailed understanding of the situation, while Option D (running a feasibility study) might be an excessive step if the data analysis already provides sufficient information for a decision.
