In project execution, encountering scope changes and delays in critical tasks requires a formal and controlled response. The appropriate action is to: Initiate a change request to assess and document the impact of the scope changes on the schedule, cost, and resources Follow the integrated change control process Ensure that any modifications to scope or timeline are properly reviewed and approved before implementation This keeps the project aligned with governance standards and prevents unauthorized changes.
