During project execution the client has become less involved and has requested several requirement changes. What should the project manager do next?

The correct answer is to discuss the changes with the client and decide together how to proceed. This aligns with the principle of collaborative decision-making and stakeholder engagement, which is crucial in project management. Project managers should always involve the client in significant changes to ensure their needs are met and to maintain buy-in. Rejecting changes outright (option B) without discussion can damage the client relationship and lead to dissatisfaction. While checking the risk register (option C) is a good practice, it's a secondary step; the immediate action is to engage the client. Assessing changes solely based on the project team's recommendations (option D) excludes a key stakeholder and risks misinterpreting client needs or priorities.
