Which of the following components ensures that risks are examined for all new proposed change requests in the change control system?
A.
Risk monitoring and control
B.
Configuration management
C.
Scope change control
D.
Integrated change control
Explanation:
Integrated change control is the component that is responsible for reviewing all aspects of a change’s impact on a project – including risks that may be introduced by the new change. Integrated change control is a way to manage the changes incurred during a project. It is a method that manages reviewing the suggestions for changes and utilizing the tools and techniques to evaluate whether the change should be approved or rejected. Integrated change control is a primary component of the project’s change control system that examines the affect of a proposed change on the entire project. Answer option B is incorrect. Configuration management controls and documents changes to the features and functions of the product scope.
Answer option C is incorrect. Scope change control focuses on the processes to allow changes to enter the project scope.
Answer option A is incorrect. Risk monitoring and control is not part of the change control system, so this choice is not valid.
