Which of the following statements is the most accurate when it comes to program change requests for the program scope?

Change requests frequently result in cost increases or decreases when scope changes; there is no PMI rule prohibiting a change request from affecting overall cost.

Every change request in program management must be documented to enable traceability, formal review, approval workflows, and audit trails through the integrated change control process. Unlike the other answer choices, documentation is a non-negotiable requirement - program changes can and do affect cost, schedule, and quality, so prohibitions against those impacts would be incorrect.

Schedule changes are a common and acceptable outcome of approved change requests; program management processes exist specifically to evaluate and accommodate schedule impacts.

Quality impacts must be analyzed and managed, but there is no blanket requirement in the Standard for Program Management that prohibits quality from being affected by a change request.
