ACMP Global CCMP Exam - Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for ACMP Global's CCMP exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 1
[All CCMP Questions]

As the project reaches completion, whose approval should be sought to formally close the change?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Formal closure of a change management effort requires approval from the senior sponsor. This ensures the accountable executive validates that outcomes were achieved, ownership transferred, and sustainability measures are in place. The project manager approves project closure, while the change lead and training lead execute tasks but do not have the authority to formally close. Thus, the sponsor's approval is required to ensure accountability for benefits realization.

(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 5 -- Close; Activity: Seek formal sponsor approval for closure.)

The training lead? What, are they going to give the change a gold star and a participation certificate?

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with the senior sponsor - they're the ones who can make it rain, if you know what I mean.

The training lead? Really? That's like asking the janitor to approve the CEO's vacation request.

I thought the Training Lead was more focused on implementation rather than approvals, so I’m leaning towards the senior sponsor.

This is a good test of our understanding of change control. I think the senior sponsor would be the one to formally approve closing the change, since they have the highest-level oversight. But I'll double-check that in the PMBOK.

I'm a bit unsure on this one. Is it the project manager who has the final say on closing out changes? Or is it the training lead since they're involved in the implementation? I'll have to weigh the options.

Okay, let's see. I know the senior sponsor has overall accountability, but the change lead might be the one responsible for formally closing it out. I'll have to review my notes on change management.
