Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 221

Donna is the project manager for her organization. She is preparing a plan to manage changes to the project should changes be requested. Her change management plan defines the process for documenting, tracking, and determining if the changes should be approved or declined. What system is considered the parent of the change control system documented in Donna's plan?

Answer options

• A. Quality Management System
• B. Change Control System
• C. Project Management Information System
• D. Integrated Change Control System

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Project Management Information System encompasses the processes and tools used to manage project data, including change management. The other options, while relevant to project management, do not serve as the parent system for the change control system specifically. The Integrated Change Control System, for instance, is part of the broader Project Management Information System.
