Project Management (PMP) — Hard

A project manager discovers midway through the project that the original business case assumptions are no longer valid due to market changes. The BEST course of action is to:

This allows for a collaborative decision on whether to continue, redirect, or close the project. Incorrect options, such as continuing as planned or closing without analysis, neglect the need for reassessment. Adjusting scope without sponsor approval also overlooks the necessity of stakeholder buy-in.
