CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Changes to the communications management plan, even supervisor-suggested ones, should go through formal change control processes. Following the planned strategy means adhering to approved plans until changes are formally processed.

**Why not A:** Making the change immediately simply because the supervisor has authority bypasses the formal change control process. Even supervisor-requested changes to the communications management plan must follow the established procedures for evaluating and approving modifications.

**Why not B:** Reducing report frequency temporarily and monitoring feedback is an unauthorized change. This approach skips the formal change control process and introduces an unapproved modification that could impact stakeholder expectations and project governance.

**Why not D:** Surveying stakeholders is a reasonable activity but should not precede the change control process. The current plan specifies weekly reports, and any change — even one informed by stakeholder feedback — must go through formal approval before implementation.
