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
✓
Review and assess the impact of the change
Upon receiving a change request, the PM should review it and assess the impact before taking further action. Implementing immediately is premature; updating the plan occurs after approval; informing the sponsor may happen but not first.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Update the project management plan
Why it's wrong here
Updating the project management plan would be premature because the exhibit shows a critical path variance that requires immediate root-cause analysis and corrective action planning; the plan is a living document that should reflect approved changes, not initiate them. This option tempts because updating the plan is a standard response to approved scope or schedule changes, and would be correct after the project manager has assessed the variance and obtained change control board approval for a specific corrective action.
- ✗
Inform the sponsor
Why it's wrong here
The sponsor may be informed, but the first step is to assess the change.
- ✗
Implement the change immediately
Why it's wrong here
Changes must be evaluated before implementation to avoid uncontrolled scope creep.
- ✓
Review and assess the impact of the change
Why this is correct
The PM should first evaluate the change's effects on scope, schedule, and budget.
