A vendor advises the project manager that a key component of the project is no longer available and recommends a higher-cost replacement. To have this change approved, the project manager submits a change request that contains which of the following?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Description, justification, and cost A change request requires a description of what is changing, a justification explaining why the change is necessary (in this case the component is unavailable), and the cost so approvers can weigh the financial impact. These three elements give decision-makers the information needed to approve or reject the request. The WBS and communications plan are separate project documents not included in a standard change request.

Answer

A. Description, cost difference of the replacement, and WBS The WBS is a project scope decomposition document and is not a standard component of a change request.

Answer

C. Cost difference of the replacement, justification, and communications plan A communications plan governs how project information is distributed and is not a required element of a change request.

Answer

D. Description, quality impact, and cost While quality impact may sometimes be noted, it does not replace justification, which is the essential element explaining why the change must occur.
