The project is delayed due to the high amount of major changes requested by different stakeholders at different stages of the project. If the project continues on the same path, it will consume twice the time and budget planned. What two actions should the project manager take to be more cost-effective? (Choose 2)

While updating the project management plan is necessary, it alone does not address the root causes of the delays or the major changes requested by stakeholders. A revised timeline without understanding stakeholder expectations or implementing an incremental strategy will likely lead to further issues and misalignment.

Improving team communication is always beneficial, but it does not directly address the complexities introduced by stakeholder demands or the need for a structured approach to manage changes. While better communication may help, it is not sufficient on its own to resolve the fundamental issues impacting project cost and schedule.

While leveraging team members' strengths can enhance productivity, it does not tackle the overarching issues of stakeholder requirements or project delays. Without a clear understanding of stakeholder impact or an incremental strategy, redistributing tasks may not lead to significant improvements in efficiency or cost-effectiveness.
