During a progress meeting, a client requests a design change that could add value. What should the project manager do?

The correct answer is to accommodate the change request to serve the client's needs. In an agile context, client collaboration and adapting to change are prioritized to deliver maximum value. If a change adds value, it should be embraced. Consulting the team and letting them decide is incorrect because while team input is valuable, the ultimate decision-making responsibility for accommodating client requests rests with the Project Manager, often within the change control process. Convincing the client not to change the project is incorrect because it goes against the agile principle of responding to change and maximizing value for the client. Making transactional decisions focused on project goals is incorrect because it implies a rigid adherence to the initial plan, which is contrary to agile principles that prioritize flexibility and value delivery over strict adherence to scope.
