You are the project manager on a network engineering project. Two weeks ago, your team began executing the project. The work has been going well, and you are now a day ahead of schedule. Two stakeholders just approached you to tell you that they have an important change that needs to be made. That change will put you behind schedule.

What do you do?

A. Implement the change because you’re ahead of schedule B. Refuse to make the change because the stakeholders did not take it to the change control board C. Refuse to make the change until the stakeholders document it in a change request D. Make sure the stakeholders know that you’re open to change, and tell them to talk to the project sponsor
