  1. A team member discovers that the project scope statement no longer reflects the agreed deliverables after several informal updates. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer: Submit a formal change request to update the scope baseline

    Any change to a project baseline must go through the formal change control process by submitting a change request.

  2. Which document authorizes the change control board (CCB) to approve or reject changes on a project?

    Answer: Change management plan

    The change management plan defines the CCB's authority, composition, and procedures for evaluating and approving changes.

  3. A requested change has been approved by the CCB. What is the NEXT step the project manager should take?

    Answer: Update the project management plan and baselines

    After CCB approval, the project manager must update the relevant project management plan components and baselines to reflect the approved change.

  4. In configuration management, what is a 'configuration item' (CI)?

    Answer: An item whose performance and functional attributes are formally controlled

    A configuration item is any hardware, software, or document whose attributes are formally managed and controlled under configuration management.

  5. Which process is responsible for capturing, classifying, and recording change requests in the CAPM framework?

    Answer: Perform Integrated Change Control

    Perform Integrated Change Control is the central process that reviews, approves, and manages all change requests across the project.

  6. A change is requested mid-project that would increase the budget by 15%. The CCB approves the change. Which baseline must be updated?

    Answer: All affected baselines

    An approved change that impacts cost may also ripple into scope and schedule, so all affected baselines should be updated to reflect the approved change.

  7. What is the purpose of a configuration status accounting report in configuration management?

    Answer: To record and report the status of configuration items throughout the project lifecycle

    Configuration status accounting records and reports the current status and history of all approved configuration items and their changes.
