Ezra Ogawa is leading a software development project at Drivechain Motors. The communications management plan specifies weekly status reports to stakeholders. After three weeks, a key stakeholder requests daily updates instead. What should Ezra do FIRST?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Evaluate the request against the communications management plan and discuss the change with relevant stakeholders

Explanation

Changes to planned frameworks should be evaluated systematically. Ezra should assess the impact of the change and engage stakeholders before modifying the approved communications management plan.

**Why not A:** Refusing the request outright is inappropriate. The communications plan should be evaluated and updated when stakeholder needs change. Plans are living documents that can be modified through proper change processes, not rigidly enforced without consideration.

**Why not B:** Updating the plan without consulting other stakeholders could negatively affect them. Increasing frequency for one stakeholder may create resource constraints or set precedents that affect the entire communication strategy, so broader discussion is needed.

**Why not D:** Immediately providing daily updates without evaluating the impact bypasses the change process. This could set a precedent, increase workload, and alter the communication strategy without proper analysis of whether it is warranted or sustainable.
