A project is experiencing delays due to unforeseen technical challenges. The project manager is considering whether to extend the project timeline or to allocate additional resources. What approach should they take to address this issue while adhering to PRINCE2 principles?
- Extend the project timeline to allow the team more time to resolve the technical challenges, ensuring that the project remains within scope and quality standards are maintained.
- Allocate additional resources to the project to accelerate the resolution of technical challenges, while closely monitoring the project budget and ensuring that the project remains aligned with its objectives.
- Implement a combination of extending the project timeline and allocating additional resources, while regularly reviewing the project's progress and adjusting the approach as needed to ensure successful delivery.
- Conduct a thorough analysis of the technical challenges and engage stakeholders to explore alternative solutions, such as outsourcing specific tasks or leveraging external expertise, to overcome the delays and deliver the project on time.

Consider a scenario where a project's scope has significantly expanded due to changing stakeholder requirements. How should the project manager address this situation to ensure the project remains aligned with its objectives and delivers value?
- Conduct a thorough impact assessment to evaluate the implications of the expanded scope on the project's timeline, budget, and resources, and engage stakeholders to discuss potential adjustments to the project plan.
- Immediately reject the expanded scope to maintain the project's original objectives and avoid scope creep, communicating the decision to stakeholders and emphasizing the importance of adhering to the project's initial scope.
- Implement a change control process to assess the feasibility of incorporating the expanded scope into the project, while ensuring that any changes are properly documented, reviewed, and approved by relevant stakeholders.
- Reevaluate the project's objectives and success criteria in light of the expanded scope, and engage stakeholders to discuss potential adjustments to the project's goals and deliverables to align with the new requirements.
