 187. You are managing a critical project with frequent changes in requirements. You are in the testing phase of the project and the customer has requested an additional new feature. You have assessed the impact of the change on the triple constraints with your team. What should be your NEXT step?

  • Raise a change request form and send it for approval to change control board
  • Look for alternative options including schedule compression techniques like crashing and fast tracking
  • Analyze the impact of the change on project quality objectives and quality planning
  • Update the project management plans and other project documents including project baselines

 I agree it's C. You must first look at the impact of the change on cost, schedule, etc. Once  you look at the impact, then you can initiate the change request. Looking at the impact first can allow you to go back to the customer (before u create a change request) and let them know the type of impact it is going to make. At this point, they may say they don't wanna do it anymore.

Nish, the question says that the PM has already looked at the impact on triple constraints. Per your post then the answer should be A (issue change request)?

 C is correct, you need to evaluate impact on all objectives/constraints

The tricky about this quetion is it is talking about assessing the triple constraints but actually we need to asses the other constrainst as well like Quality, Risk, Customer satisfaction. Purposely he has mentioned about the triple constriant (Cost, scope and time) but there are other things need to be taken care like above when the specifics are given as option. Like in this it has Quality objectives and Quality planning. if this wasn't there as an option then the answer could be different.

So considering the above explanation from me I would go for option C.
