What project management process is responsible for evaluating the full effect of a proposed scope change on your project?

- DChange Control Board approval process
Explanation
Integrated change control is the project management process responsible for evaluating the full impact of any proposed change across all project knowledge areas, including cost, schedule, risk, and scope.
Common mistakes.
- A. Schedule change control focuses exclusively on managing changes to the project schedule baseline and does not evaluate the broader effects on cost, scope, or risk.
- B. Scope change control manages changes to the project scope baseline specifically; it does not perform a cross-domain impact analysis covering costs, schedule, and risk together.
- D. The Change Control Board (CCB) is a governing body that approves or rejects changes after evaluation; it is not itself a process that conducts the integrated impact analysis - it acts on the results of integrated change control.
