ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 56 of 100

The project manager should assess the cost and schedule impact and process the request through formal change management. A new function changes project scope and may also affect time, cost, quality, resources, risks, and contractual commitments. The authorized decision-makers need this impact analysis before approving or rejecting the change and updating any baseline.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) accepts the request before it is evaluated and approved

- (b) rejects it solely because of timing rather than business value and impact

- (d) assumes only scope is affected and changes the baseline without authorization

Key rule: Requested changes are documented, impact-analyzed, approved or rejected through change control, and only then reflected in project baselines.
