- D.Reject all requested changes and bypass the company ' s change control process.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When a stakeholder requests new features enhancing competitive advantage just after the team reaches design consensus, the project manager should start the process to include the new features in the next iteration. This follows proper change management while keeping the current work intact. Encouraging the team to add premium features (A) bypasses change control. Allowing all changes without change control (B) is undisciplined. Rejecting all changes without evaluation (D) ignores potentially valuable input.
