    • Project Delays & Risk Management: Project managers should gather information regarding delays, estimate impacts, and log the issue in risk management logs. It's important to inform stakeholders about the risk.
    • Change Requests & Impact Assessment: Project managers should evaluate the impact of approved change requests on the project management plan, ensuring all aspects are considered. Communication and team notification are secondary actions.
