The engineering department has uncovered a problem with the cost accounting system and has asked the systems department to analyze what is wrong and fix the problem.
You are a project managerr working with the cost accounting programs on another project. Management has issued a change request to the change control board to add the new work to your project.
Your existing project has a cost performance index (CPI) of 1.2 and a schedule performance index (SPI) of 1.3, so you have some room to add work without delaying your existing project or going over budget. However, you cannot see how the new work fits within the project charter for your existing project. After some analysis, you determine that the new work and existing work do not overlap and can be done concurrently. They also require different skill sets. Which of the following is the BEST thing to do?

A. Develop a project charter
B. Reestimate the project schedule with input from the engineering department
C. Verify the scope of the new work with the help of the stakeholders
D. Identify specific changes to the existing work
