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 Correct answer

D: Risk management plan

Correct Answer:

C. Change control document

Explanation

Adding communication channels and changing project elements require updating the change control document, which tracks project changes and ensures proper review and approval. Change Control Process: Ensures project changes are documented, analyzed, and approved. Prevents scope creep and miscommunication. Other Options: WBS Document: Outlines tasks but does not manage changes. Scope Statement: Defines project objectives but does not track updates. Risk Management Plan: Assesses risks, unrelated to communication changes. EC-Council CISO Reference: Project Management Best Practices: Stresses maintaining an updated change control document for project success. Risk Mitigation in Projects: Links change control to effective risk and scope management.
