ExpertPMP · Question 61 · Task 10: Manage project changes
During project execution, a major client requests a significant scope addition that would add substantial value but also increase the project timeline by 8 weeks and budget by 25%. The client is willing to accept the timeline and budget increases. However, the change would require renegotiating contracts with two key vendors. What should the project manager do FIRST?
