Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Assess the stakeholder's need and update the communication plan if justified
Explanation
While following the communication plan is important, plans should be flexible enough to accommodate legitimate needs. Ezra should assess whether daily updates are justified and update the plan accordingly through proper change control.
**Why not B:** Refusing the request because the plan is approved is too rigid. Communication plans should be reviewed and updated when legitimate stakeholder needs arise. Blindly following the plan without considering valid requests undermines stakeholder relationships and engagement.
**Why not C:** Immediately providing daily updates without assessment or formal plan updates bypasses proper change management. Changes to the communication frequency should be evaluated for justification and impact before implementation, and the plan should be updated accordingly.
**Why not D:** Sending weekly reports labeled as daily updates is deceptive and does not address the stakeholder's actual need. If the stakeholder requires more frequent information, the project manager should honestly assess the request and respond with an appropriate, transparent solution.
