Question 120
Ethan is the project manager for Project Addison. Ten weeks into its implementation, the project will continue for fourteen more weeks and is currently two weeks ahead of schedule. After a recent project meeting, Ethan overheard two stakeholders arguing about the need to add additional features to the project. What should Ethan do?
- A Assign a team member to analyze the features.
- B Tell them they will need to find an additional budget.
- C Refer them to the steering committee.
- D Refer them to the change control process for the project.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Ethan should direct the stakeholders to the change control process. This will allow them to submit the changes in a controlled manner. Then the change control process can be followed to determine the need for the changes and how the changes can be managed. The steering committee is not likely to be able to assist in this scenario as the project has mechanisms for changes in the change control process. The changes have not yet been approved, so additional funding is not yet needed. Asking a team member to analyze the changes takes the team member away from project work to review changes that may not happen in the project. The best answer is first to utilize the change control process.Discussion
