A project manager has just received communication from an operational functional manager to complete an additional scope item for a project that was formally

closed a few weeks ago. The scope looks relatively small and simple to handle as part of the daily operations activity.

How should the project manager deal with this request?

Submit a change request and allocate the budget and resources needed for execution.

Confirm that the budget and resources are available to execute the work request.

Evaluate the nature of the request and plan communication accordingly.

Check the alternative resources available in the organization for the request.
