You are the project manager of the GHT project. This project will last for 18 months and has a
project budget of $567,000. Robert, one of your stakeholders, has introduced a scope change
request that will likely have an impact on the project costs and schedule. Robert assures you that
he will pay for the extra time and costs associated with the risk event. You have identified that
change request may also affect other areas of the project other than just time and cost. What
project management component is responsible for evaluating a change request and its impact on
all of the project management knowledge areas?

A.
Configuration management

B.
Integrated change control

C.
Risk analysis

Project change control system

Explanation:

Integrated change control is responsible for evaluating a proposed change and determining its
impact on all areas of the project: scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication,
risk, and procurement.

process for proposed changes to the project scope, time, cost, and contracts.

documentation of the features and functions of the project’s product.

entire project.
