Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1170

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?

Answer options

• A. Risk log
• B. Backlog
• C. Change log
• D. Issue log

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Change log, because it specifically tracks changes that have been requested, approved, or deferred, providing a clear record for stakeholders. The Risk log focuses on potential risks, the Backlog contains pending work items, and the Issue log records problems that need resolution, making them unsuitable for communicating deferred change requests.
