On a bridge construction project a regulatory stakeholder requested adding a branch to the bridge design. The project manager prepared a change request, which the change control board (CCB) approved. What should the project manager do now?

After a change request is approved by the Change Control Board (CCB), the project manager's immediate next step is to evaluate the necessary updates to the project management plan and its subsidiary plans and baselines. This ensures that the project documentation accurately reflects the approved change and that all impacts are properly assessed and integrated. Simply notifying the team or the stakeholder is premature without first understanding the full implications for the project plan. Adding the new branch to the engineering design is an execution step that occurs after the planning documents have been updated and approved, not immediately after CCB approval.
