A. Review the new requirements with the compliance department to determine if a change request is needed This approach ensures that the project manager fully understands the impact of the regulatory changes and evaluates whether a formal change request is necessary. Involving the compliance department helps assess if the changes are mandatory and how they affect the project scope, timeline, and budget. This step allows for a structured response to regulatory changes while ensuring the project remains compliant.

A. Review the new requirements with the compliance department to determine if a change request is needed. Since the new regulatory requirements are mandatory and will affect the project, the project manager must first review them with the compliance department to fully understand their impact on the project. After this, a change request can be raised, if necessary, to update the project scope, budget, or timeline. This approach ensures that the project remains compliant with regulatory standards while following the formal change control process. Proceeding without addressing the new requirements or delaying their implementation could lead to non-compliance issues, and immediately adding them without analysis could lead to unmanaged impacts on the project's scope, budget, and schedule.
