In the middle of the execution phase for a big project, a new stakeholder who was unfamiliar with the project joined the board of directors and is influencing the decisions made in the project. This change is impacting the project's progress.
What should the project manager do first?
Explanation:
When a new stakeholder joins the board of directors and is impacting the project's progress, it's crucial for the project manager to ensure that the stakeholder is fully informed about the project, its objectives, and its current status. By presenting the project to the stakeholder, the project manager can ensure that the stakeholder is aware of the project's goals, timelines, and deliverables, and that they understand the impact that their decisions may have on the project.
This will help the project manager to manage the stakeholder's expectations and ensure that their influence on the project is aligned with the project's goals.

In a hybrid project, the customer has issued a contract that specifies the deliverables for each quarter. The customer wants to show their stakeholders a tangible outcome in the first quarter and wants to move the second milestone to the first quarter. The project manager explains to the customer that it is not feasible unless the requirements for the second milestone are changed.
Which two actions should the project manager take? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
The project manager should first ask the customer for their priorities regarding the requirements for the second milestone in order to understand the reasons behind the customer's request and how it aligns with their overall project goals.
This can help the project manager to identify which requirements are most important to the customer and which ones can be delayed or modified.
The project manager should also go back to the development team and discuss which second milestone requirements can be performed in the first quarter. The team may be able to identify which requirements can be accelerated or modified to meet the customer's desired outcome in the first quarter. This can help the project manager to develop a plan that meets the customer's needs while minimizing the impact on the overall project schedule and cost.
