Why each option
When a change request is denied by project governance, the project manager must update the change log to record the decision and maintain an accurate history of all change requests and their outcomes.
The WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) is only updated when an approved change impacts project scope or deliverables - a denied change has no effect on the WBS.
The change log is the centralized record that tracks every change request submitted to the project, including its status (pending, approved, or denied) and disposition. Recording a denied change request in the change log ensures traceability and provides an audit trail of all change control decisions. This document is updated regardless of whether a change is approved or rejected.
The scope document is only modified when a change is approved and adds or removes work from the project baseline, not when a change is denied.
The communications log tracks project communications and correspondence, not formal change control decisions and their outcomes.
