Midway through a project, organizational changes replace several key stakeholders and many new requirements emerge. What should the project manager do to help ensure project success?

The correct answer is to review and prioritize new requirements with stakeholders to determine which change requests are needed. This approach aligns with the project management principle of integrated change control. Organizational changes and new requirements necessitate a structured process to evaluate their impact and determine which ones are essential and feasible within project constraints. Collaborating with stakeholders ensures that decisions are made collectively and that the project remains aligned with current business needs. Seeking immediate approval to change the timeline and budget for all new requirements is premature and bypasses necessary analysis and prioritization. Escalating to the sponsor to retain original requirements ignores the reality of organizational changes and new business needs. Telling new stakeholders that additional requirements are not allowed is confrontational and unconstructive, potentially damaging stakeholder relationships and project viability.
