    A project manager is working on a project where the sponsor has been replaced due to organizational restructuring. The new sponsor has different priorities and is questioning several key project decisions made by the previous sponsor. The project is 60% complete and major changes at this point would significantly impact timeline and budget. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Schedule a comprehensive project briefing to bring the new sponsor up to speed on project status and decisions

    B.

    Continue with the current project plan since it was approved by the previous sponsor

    C.

    Immediately implement the new sponsor's suggested changes to build support

    D.
