Everyone on the team agrees with a change request, and the team proceeds with the implementation. Which of the following steps is missing from the identified process?

Impact justification supports the change request submission but is not the specific missing step - the change may have been justified verbally; the missing step is the formal approval gate.

The integrated change control process requires that all change requests receive formal approval from the appropriate authority - typically the change control board or project sponsor - before any implementation begins. Team consensus does not substitute for formal authorization, which ensures changes are evaluated for scope, cost, schedule, and risk impacts before being committed to.

A quality check is performed on deliverables after work is completed, not as a prerequisite step in the change control approval process.

Identifying and documenting the change is an earlier step in the process; the scenario implies the change was already discussed and agreed upon, making the missing step the formal approval, not documentation.
