A: By changing the issue management approach at the end of each stage to reflect lessons
B: By creating new versions of a management product when a change is approved Correct answer
C: By Implementing a change budget to fund changes to the project product
D: By recording the required change to a management product as an off-specification
Correct Answer:
B. By creating new versions of a management product when a change is approved
Explanation

Effective issue management for changes to baselined products, including management products, is integrated with configuration management. When a request for change is approved, the relevant management product must be updated. To maintain an audit trail and ensure all stakeholders are using the correct version, the updated document is saved as a new version. This is a fundamental practice for controlling project documentation and preventing confusion or errors arising from using outdated information.

Why Incorrect

A. Changing the approach based on lessons is about process improvement, not the direct handling of a specific change to a product.
C. A change budget is typically established to fund approved changes to the project's specialist products, not administrative changes to management documents.
D. An off-specification is a type of issue where a product fails to meet its requirements. A request to change a management product is a 'request for change' issue type.
