Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 972

A project manager has been approached by the project sponsor about adding to the project scope. How should the project manager accommodate this request?

Answer options

• A. Disregard the request since the project scope is finalized
• B. Adjust the project schedule to accommodate the new project scope requests.
• C. Create a change request for the change control board (CCB) to review.
• D. Update the project team about the change request.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because any changes to the project scope must go through a formal change control process, which includes submitting a change request to the change control board (CCB) for approval. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not follow proper project management practices for handling scope changes. Option D, while it involves communication, does not address the need for a formal review process.
