Explanation

Any change to the project's scope - even a beneficial, invisible, or seemingly low-risk one - must go through formal change control. The PM must log a change request first so the change can be reviewed, approved, and properly tracked. Authorizing the change without formal approval bypasses governance. Even if the developer believes it won't impact the timeline, that assessment must be validated through the change control process. Only after approval should the change be scheduled or implemented.
