CAPM Change Control & Configuration 4

Question 1

A customer requests a 'small' wording change to a contractual deliverable. Why should this still go through formal change control?

Accepted Answer

Because even small changes can affect scope, schedule, cost, or quality

Answer

Even minor changes can have cascading effects on other project baselines, so all changes should be evaluated through the formal process.

Question 2

The change log is BEST described as:

Accepted Answer

A document that tracks the status of all change requests throughout the project

Answer

The change log is used to document and track all change requests, including their status, disposition, and any updates made.

Question 3

Which of the following BEST describes integrated change control?

Accepted Answer

Coordinating changes across all project knowledge areas in an integrated way

Answer

Integrated change control ensures that changes in one area are evaluated for their effect on all other project areas before approval and implementation.

Question 4

A project manager notices that several team members are implementing changes verbally agreed upon in meetings without submitting change requests. What is the risk of this practice?

Accepted Answer

Scope creep and uncontrolled baseline changes

Answer

Implementing changes without formal change requests leads to scope creep, untracked baseline modifications, and loss of project control.

Question 5

What is the role of the project management information system (PMIS) in change control?

Accepted Answer

It provides tools to track, store, and communicate change request status

Answer

The PMIS supports the change control process by providing tools for documenting, tracking, and communicating the status of change requests.
