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

Before changing the planned communication strategy, the project manager should discuss the request with the sponsor to understand the underlying need. This conversation allows assessment of whether daily updates are truly necessary and what impact the change would have on project time and resources. Changes to planned strategies should be evaluated, not automatically implemented or rejected.

**Why not A:** Escalating to the PMO bypasses direct communication with the sponsor. The project manager should first understand the sponsor's need before involving additional parties. Escalation is premature when the issue can be resolved through direct conversation.

**Why not B:** Simply continuing with the approved plan without discussing the request ignores the sponsor's concerns. The sponsor is a key stakeholder with significant authority, and dismissing their request without understanding the underlying need could damage the relationship and miss a legitimate project concern.

**Why not C:** Immediately implementing daily updates without assessing the impact on resources is reactive and could strain the team unnecessarily. Changes to planned communication strategies should be evaluated for feasibility and impact before being implemented.
