Henry is the project manager of the QBG Project for his company. This project has a budget of $4,576,900 and is expected to last 18 months to complete. The CIO, a stakeholder in the project, has introduced a scope change request for additional deliverables as part of the project work. What component of the change control system would review the proposed changes' impact on the features and functions of the project's product?
The configuration management system ensures that proposed changes to the project's scope are reviewed and evaluated for their affect on
the project's product.
Configuration Management System is a subsystem of the overall project management system. It is a collection of formal documented
procedures used to identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a product, result, service, or component of the project.
It also controls any changes to such characteristics, and records and reports each change and its implementation status. It includes the
documentation, tracking systems, and defined approval levels necessary for authorizing and controlling changes. Audits are performed as part
of configuration management to determine if the requirements have been met.
Answer B is incorrect. The scope change control system focuses on reviewing the actual changes to the project scope. When a change
to the project's scope is proposed, the configuration management system is also invoked.
Answer C is incorrect. The cost change control system is responsible for reviewing and controlling changes to the project costs.
Answer D is incorrect. Integrated change control examines the affect of a proposed change on the project as a whole.
