Which step involves directing the changes that have been approved?

The step that involves directing the changes that have been approved is directing and managing execution. This phase focuses on implementing the approved changes and ensuring that the project team carries out the necessary work to align the project with these changes. It includes providing direction to project resources and ensuring tasks are completed according to the adjusted plan, facilitating a smooth integration of changes into the project workflow.

In this step, project managers actively guide the team and resources to adapt to changes while ensuring that the project's objectives are still met. This also includes ongoing communication, motivation, and support to maintain team engagement and alignment with the new direction established by the approved changes.
