Explanation

When an approved change occurs on a project, the relevant project baselines (scope baseline, schedule baseline, and cost baseline) within the Project Management Plan must be updated to reflect the newly agreed-upon parameters - baselines represent the approved version of the plan and must stay current. Schedule forecasts (project documents, not plan components) are also revised to reflect updated projections based on the change. The Project Charter (A) is not updated for individual project changes - it is a high-level authorization document. The Assumption Log (C) is only updated if the change affects project assumptions.
