new stakeholder has been added to a project with a BAG of $850,000. The stakeholder has raised five change requests to the CCB; two of them have been approved, and three are awaiting initial review…

Identifying and documenting risk is an early step in evaluating a change request before it reaches the CCB for review, so it occurs well before implementation.

Evaluating the impact and justification of a change request is part of the CCB review process and occurs before the CCB approves or rejects the request, not after.

Implementing the change occurs after CCB approval but before document updates, making it the second-to-last action, not the last.

In the integrated change control process, updating documents and plans occurs last because it reflects the approved and implemented changes in the official project records. With a CPI of 0.89 indicating cost overruns and an SPI of 1.14 showing the project is ahead of schedule, the two approved change requests must first be implemented before any baselines or plans can be updated to reflect the new approved scope. Document and plan updates at this stage would include updating the cost baseline, schedule, and any affected subsidiary plans.
