The project manager must decide how to handle this. What is the most appropriate PRiSM supporting process to apply first?

   • AInitiate the change control process to formally evaluate the impact on scope, schedule, and the carbon-reduction KPI before approving the substitution.
   • BUpdate the configuration management plan to record the new steel grade as a baseline deliverable specification.
   • CImmediately accept the substitution to avoid schedule delays and log it in the issue register.
   • DAsk the supplier to provide a new quotation and compare it against the original budget line item.
