Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) — Question 150

Smith, the project manager for a larger multi-location firm, is leading a software project team that has 18 members, 5 of which are assigned to testing. Due to recent recommendations by an organizational quality audit team, the project manager is convinced to add a quality professional to lead to test team at additional cost to the project.
The project manager is aware of the importance of communication for the success of the project and takes the step of introducing additional communication channels, making it more complex, in order to assure quality levels of the project. What will be the first project management document that Smith should change in order to accommodate additional communication channels?

Answer options

• A. WBS document
• B. Scope statement
• C. Change control document
• D. Risk management plan

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Change control document, because introducing new communication channels necessitates a formal change in the project scope or execution plan. The other options, such as the WBS document, Scope statement, and Risk management plan, may be affected later but do not directly address the need for documenting changes in communication procedures.
