  1. What is the PRIMARY purpose of an Integrated Change Control process in project management?

    Answer: To review, approve, or reject changes to project baselines

    Integrated Change Control ensures all change requests are formally reviewed and approved or rejected before any action is taken on project baselines.

  2. A change request has been submitted to extend the project deadline by two weeks. Who typically has final authority to approve or reject this request?

    Answer: The Change Control Board (CCB)

    The Change Control Board (CCB) is the designated body with authority to approve or reject formal change requests on a project.

  3. Which document formally records a requested modification to any project deliverable, process, or baseline?

    Answer: Change request form

    A change request form is the formal document used to capture, track, and process any proposed modification to a project baseline or deliverable.

  4. What is a 'baseline' in the context of project change management?

    Answer: The approved version of scope, schedule, or cost used as a reference for measuring performance

    A baseline is the approved, fixed reference point for scope, schedule, or cost against which actual project performance is measured.

  5. A project coordinator notices that a team member implemented a scope change without submitting a formal change request. This is known as:

    Answer: Scope creep

    Scope creep refers to uncontrolled expansion of project scope without formal authorization through the change control process.

  6. What is the FIRST step a project coordinator should take when a change request is received?

    Answer: Evaluate the impact of the change on scope, schedule, cost, and quality

    Before any decision is made, the impact of the proposed change on all project constraints—scope, schedule, cost, and quality—must be assessed.

  7. Which of the following BEST describes a corrective action in project change management?

    Answer: An intentional activity to realign project performance with the project plan

    Corrective actions are intentional activities performed to bring current or future project performance back in line with the project management plan.
