Question 100
You are the project manager of a new construction project for your organization. The project has just recently been chartered, and you’re working with the project team to define the project management plan, scope statement, and cost budget and other project details. Your customer has contacted you and informed you that they have several changes to the project, such as different flooring selection, larger windows, and an outdoor seating area. What should you do next?
- A Accept the changes and continue with project planning.
- B Refuse the changes as the project charter has already been created.
- C Complete a change request and pass the change through integrated change control.
- D Ask the team to explore the changes in costs, scope, schedule, risk, and quality concerns before approving the changes for the project.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The project management plan should be baselined; that is, it is necessary to define at least the project references for scope, time, and cost, so that the project execution can be measured and compared to those references and performance can be managed. Before the baselines are defined, the project management plan may be updated as many times as necessary. No formal process is required at that time. However, once it is baselined, it may only be changed through the Perform Integrated Change Control process.Discussion
