The project is now in stage 2. The 'training venue specifications' will not be delivered to schedule and the stage is forecast to exceed its time tolerance. As a result, the project manager has agreed with the team manager that the 'training venue specifications' will be delivered in stage 3 instead of stage 2.
Is this an appropriate action, and why?
The project manager does not have the authority to change the stage plan without referring the issue to the project board. Stage deviations require a formal decision from the project board to ensure any impacts on the project are properly assessed and authorized. Moving the delivery of 'training venue specifications' from stage 2 to stage 3 is a significant change and must be considered and approved by the project board to adhere to PRINCE2 management principles.
