In situation like this, it is crucial to identify and determine effective resources reallocation based on project needs. Here's what I would do: 1) Re-define project scope: Identify and understand the scope, requirements, deliverables, budget, and timeline. 2) Impact: Understand the impact on its resources. 3) Prioritization: When there's a big change, it usually requires deprioritization of certain tasks. Classify them from P0 to P4, high urgency high importance including dependencies to prevent bottlenecks. 4) Determine the resources vs deliverables within the expected timeline. Request for additional resources (manpower, timeline). 5) Communicate and collaborate, transparent. 6) Regularly review, monitor, and make adjustments as needed.
