You are managing a software development project. In a status meeting, a team member suggests that some features could be delivered early, providing an immediate benefit to the client. However, delivering these features would require reallocating resources from a different task that is not on the critical path. What should you do next?
Assess the potential incremental value against project constraints before making a decision.
Ignore the suggestion since it was not part of the initial plan and proceed as scheduled.
Agree to the suggestion and reallocate resources immediately to deliver the extra value.
Adhere to the original project plan strictly, as deviations could lead to risks and delays.
