Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 133

A project manager manages a bridge construction project. The project manager has received a major change request from a regulatory stakeholder to add one branch of the bridge to the engineering design. The project manager prepared a change request, which was reviewed and accepted by the change control board
(CCB).
What should the project manager do now?

Answer options

• A. Notify the project team about the change request's approval.
• B. Include the new branch of the bridge in the design.
• C. Communicate the decision to the stakeholder who requested the change.
• D. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because notifying the project team is essential for ensuring everyone is aware of the approved change and can adjust their work accordingly. Options B and C, while important, come after the team has been informed about the change. Option D is also necessary but is secondary to ensuring the team is aligned with the new direction.
