Why each option
Integrated change control is the process that reviews all proposed change requests across all project knowledge areas, ensuring that risks are examined for every change before approval.
Risk monitoring and control tracks and responds to previously identified risks and monitors risk triggers throughout the project but does not govern the review process for new change requests.
Scope change control manages changes to the project scope boundary but is a subset of integrated change control and does not ensure risk examination across all types of change requests.
Configuration management controls changes to product specifications and project artifacts but does not specifically ensure that risk is evaluated for all proposed change requests across the project.
Integrated change control is the process responsible for reviewing all change requests and evaluating their impact across the entire project management plan, including their risk implications, before a change is approved or rejected. By centralizing the review of all proposed changes, it ensures that no change is made without a cross-cutting assessment of risk, schedule, cost, and scope impacts. This holistic, integrated approach is specifically designed to ensure consistent risk examination for all new change requests within the change control system.
