When a proposed change could potentially enhance delivery value or improve testing efficiency, the best practice is to assess the impact on scope, schedule, and stakeholder expectations before making a decision. The PMBOK® Guide encourages evaluating change requests for their implications.

Option A may bring in stakeholders too early before the impact is known.

Option B is rigid and may ignore potential benefits.

Option D logs an issue prematurely before the impact is clear.
