   A construction project is in execution. The risk register identifies a high-probability, high-impact risk of soil instability at the foundation site. The project manager has received formal approval from the change control board (CCB) to add a soil stabilization activity to the schedule. The project manager updates the schedule with the new activity, which adds 10 days to the critical path. What must the project manager do NEXT to ensure the schedule remains a valid basis for measuring performance?

   • ACommunicate the new activity to the project team and stakeholders, but leave the PMB unchanged until the end of the reporting period.
   • BRemove the soil stabilization activity from the critical path by adding schedule contingency to the project buffer.
   • CRebaseline the schedule by updating the performance measurement baseline (PMB) to include the new activity and its revised dates.
   • DUpdate only the project schedule, and keep the PMB unchanged because the PMB is only updated at the end of a phase.

   • AAdd the activity to the schedule but do not update the PMB because the activity was already approved.
   • BRemove the mitigation activity from the risk register because it was not added to the schedule.
   • CAdd the approved mitigation activity to the schedule and update the PMB through the change control process.
   • DWait for the next CCB meeting to re-approve the activity before adding it to the schedule.
