PMP Question #1407: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A project manager works for a large manufacturing company with diversified domains. The project team often participates in change requests. Recently, the change control board (CCB) deferred some requests and the project manager wants to communicate these requests to the stakeholders. What document should the project manager use to communicate these requests?

Options

• ARisk log
• BBacklog
• CChange log
• DIssue log

Explanation

The project manager should use the change log to communicate the status of change requests to stakeholders, as this document specifically records all submitted change requests, their status, and the decisions made by the Change Control Board (CCB).

Common mistakes.

• A. A risk log (or risk register) is used to document potential future events that may impact the project, not the status of formal change requests.
• B. A backlog is commonly used in agile methodologies to list features, requirements, or tasks that need to be completed, not to track the status of formal change control requests.
• D. An issue log (or issue register) tracks actual problems or roadblocks that have occurred in the project and require resolution, not pending or deferred change requests.
