PMP Question of the Day
Correct — you spotted the PMP mindset.
The best answer was to assess the impact of the change before approving, rejecting, or forcing the team to absorb it.
Correct Answer:
Assess the impact of the change on scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and stakeholders before making a recommendation.
Why this is right:
PMP questions often test whether you react too quickly. The project manager should not automatically approve the change because the sponsor asked, reject it because the team is worried, or push overtime to force the work in.
The right move is to pause, assess the full impact, involve the right stakeholders, and then make a recommendation based on project value and risk.
