D. Perform integrated change control

Performing integrated change control involves reviewing and approving or rejecting changes to project scope, schedule, or cost. In this scenario, the project manager has identified a change request related to adding a new feature, and during the analysis, it's discovered that the necessary equipment won't be available in time, leading to potential project team idle time. To address this, the project manager should follow the integrated change control process, which includes assessing the impact of the change, considering alternatives, and making decisions about whether to approve or reject the change. This process ensures that changes are evaluated comprehensively and that their implications on resources, timelines, and other aspects are thoroughly considered before implementation.

The project manager should perform integrated change control to determine the impact of the change request on the project schedule, budget, and resources
