Change Control — PMI CAPM Practice Questions
Change control is the formal mechanism through which proposed modifications to project documents, deliverables, or baselines are submitted, reviewed, evaluated for impact, approved or rejected, and then tracked. The CAPM exam covers the Perform Integrated Change Control process, which sits in the Monitoring and Controlling process group and ensures no change is made to a performance baseline without proper authorization. Key inputs include work performance reports and change requests, while key outputs include approved change requests and updates to the project management plan. Candidates must know that only approved changes should be implemented and that the change log captures the status of all submitted requests.
