A. Discuss the changes with the client and jointly make the decision on how to proceed. In the execution phase of a project, it's important to maintain open and effective communication with the client. If changes to the requirements are requested, the project manager should engage in a discussion with the client to understand the rationale behind the changes, the potential impacts on the project scope, schedule, and budget, and the client's priorities. Collaboratively, the project manager and client can make informed decisions on how to handle these changes, whether by incorporating them, negotiating adjustments, or rejecting them based on the project's goals and constraints. It's essential to maintain client engagement and alignment throughout the project, especially when changes occur.

It's more efficient to check the RR first. The customer is not available so who is the PM going to talk to?

tricky question, there are changes to the REQUERIMENTS, not the scope. So, I would go with Option A, the collaborative approach promotes client satisfaction and aligns the project with their evolving requirements.

Selected Answer: A
A and D are similar because both are about reviewing the changes and discussing them whit someone. But in the case of A we talk about them with the customer; in the case of B with the team. How can it be that the team's opinion is more important than the customer's when it comes to requirements changes? So if the choice is between A and D, A wins beacuse is more appropriate

Selected Answer: A
According to ChatGPT: A. Discuss the changes with the client and jointly make the decision on how to proceed. The project manager should communicate with the client and discuss the changes requested. It is important to understand the reasons behind the changes and to ensure that the client's needs are still being met. By involving the client in the decision-making process, the project manager can ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the project can move forward successfully. Rejecting the changes outright (B) may damage the relationship with the client, and reviewing the risk register (C) may not be relevant to this situation. While considering the project team's recommendations (D) is important, it should not be the only factor in making a decision regarding changes to the project requirements.

Selected Answer: C
Mhhh... the question is misleading. The changes have been requested by who? By a stakeholder? Then you have to look at your stakeholder matrix and act consequently -and the answer can be A or C or D. The team can decide only if they have the complete picture, and this is not the case, most of the times. By the customer himself? than the answer is A. All in all, I'll go for C.
