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

While following the planned communication strategy is important, plans should be flexible enough to accommodate legitimate needs. Alexei should assess the request with relevant stakeholders and update the communication plan formally if the change improves team collaboration.

**Why not B:** Canceling daily stand-ups entirely and switching to email eliminates the real-time collaboration and quick problem-solving benefits of stand-up meetings. The team members are requesting a time change, not the elimination of the meetings themselves.

**Why not C:** Moving the meeting without documenting the change violates proper change control processes. Even minor adjustments to the communication plan should be formally documented to maintain consistency and ensure all stakeholders are aware of the updated schedule.

**Why not D:** Refusing the request because the plan must be followed exactly as written ignores that plans should be living documents. When a legitimate need arises (such as time zone accommodations), the appropriate response is to evaluate the change and update the plan formally, not to rigidly resist all adjustments.
