In the face of unforeseen events that render the current features and solution less usable due to new travel restrictions, assessing the environmental changes and recommending a pivot for the project is a proactive and strategic approach. This involves evaluating the project's alignment with the current business environment and proposing necessary adjustments or changes to maximize business value. It allows the project manager to adapt to the new circumstances and consider alternative directions that can still provide value to the organization.
