Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Consult the change control board for approval.
The correct actions are to submit a formal change request (E) and then consult the change control board (CCB) for approval (A). These steps follow the formal change control process to prevent scope creep and ensure proper evaluation. Implementing the change immediately (B) bypasses this process. Ignoring the request (C) damages stakeholder relationships. Updating the project charter (D) is inappropriate because the charter was created during initiation and should not be modified for scope changes during execution. Therefore, options A and E are correct.
