your sponsor have already approved the scope. An information specialist on your team,

software project, learns that a simple alteration in the display would be great addition to the
project. The information specialist installs the change with no negative impact on the
project schedule and at no additional cost. What action should be taken?

without affecting project cost or schedule.

associated time.

have negatively impacted the overall project.

approve the change since the change has already been made.
