2. In a pharmaceutical project, human trials have been started. The CEO is thrilled about the success of the trials
up to this point. She announces that the size of the patient pool for the trials should double from the one
originally planned and results tracked in the new system launching this week.
What should the project manager do first?
A. Ramp up production to match the demand of the CEO
B. Consider what might be included in a change request
C. Adjust the scope baseline to reflect the increased trial size
D. Communicate the change in the scope to the project stakeholders
HINT: Does the project team have the approval to make changes?
Question
3. The correct answer is B.
Managing changes to the project by following the organization's change control process established for
the project is important in keeping the project under control and operating effectively.
Changes to scope, like in the scenario of doubling the size of the patient pool as well as tracking the results
in the new system, require evaluation, agreement, and approval. Who makes those approvals is up to the
project organization and its change management plans.
But before any changes are implemented or communicated, the change request must be submitted per
the project's procedure and approved by those authorized to do so.
A CEO's declaration of what should happen in the project does not substitute for the project's change
control procedures and the Perform Integrated Change Control process.
