Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 919

A customer requests additional changes 1 day before the planned change date. How should the project manager respond to the change request?

Answer options

• A. Reject the changes as the lead time is too short.
• B. Check if the changes are covered in the statement of work (SOW).
• C. Determine whether the project team is capable of making the changes.
• D. Review the additional changes and perform integrated change control.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reviewing the changes and performing integrated change control ensures that all impacts are considered and properly documented. Answer A is incorrect because outright rejection does not address the potential for valid changes. Answer B may not be sufficient as it doesn't involve evaluating the implications of the change. Answer C overlooks the necessary formal review process required for changes.
