A recent quality audit failed and produced multiple action items. The new project manager finds new stakeholders and possibly new audit resources are required. What should the project manager do next?

The audit failure and the identification of new stakeholders and resources represent significant changes to the project. Any changes to scope, schedule, cost, or resources must go through integrated change control to be formally reviewed, approved, or rejected. This ensures that all impacts are considered and documented. Performing stakeholder engagement is part of managing communications and expectations, but it doesn't formally approve changes. Updating the quality management plan or risk management plan might be an outcome of the change control process if approved, but it's not the immediate next step for formally addressing the identified changes.
