You are the program manager for your organization and are reviewing several proposed change requests for your program. Mary, a stakeholder, who has made a change request is asking why it is taking you so long to review the change. You tell her that you must perform integrated change control to review each change request. What is integrated change control?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. It is the review of the impact of the change on the program's knowledge areas. Integrated Change Control requires assessing a change request's impact across all knowledge areas - scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholders - to understand the full ripple effect of any modification. Limiting the review to only time, cost, and scope (the triple constraints or Iron Triangle) would miss critical impacts in other areas, making a fully integrated assessment necessary.

Answer

A. It is the review of the impact of the change on the program's triple constraints. Reviewing only the triple constraints (time, cost, scope) is incomplete; integrated change control spans all knowledge areas, not just those three.

Answer

B. It is the review of the impact of the change on the time, cost, scope, and quality baselines. Reviewing time, cost, scope, and quality baselines is still incomplete because integrated change control must evaluate impacts on all knowledge areas including risk, HR, procurement, and communications.

Answer

C. It is the review of the impact of the change on the program's Iron Triangle. The Iron Triangle refers to the same three constraints as option A and is similarly an incomplete description of integrated change control.
