Change

An alteration made to any baselined deliverable, a component of the project management plan, or a project document that is under formal control.

Key Points

  • Applies only to items under formal configuration or baseline control.
  • Documented through a change request and analyzed for impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk.
  • Requires approval through the defined change control process (e.g., CCB) before implementation.
  • Once approved, triggers updates to baselines, plans, and related documents, and must be communicated to stakeholders.

Example

A sponsor asks to add a new compliance report after the scope baseline is approved. The project manager logs a change request, performs impact analysis on cost and schedule, seeks CCB approval, and if approved, updates the scope baseline, schedule, and reporting deliverables.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes a change in a formally controlled project environment?

  1. An informal suggestion shared during a team stand-up.
  2. A variance noted in a status report that requires no follow-up.
  3. Any proposed or approved alteration to a baselined deliverable, plan component, or controlled project document.
  4. A quick fix implemented by the technical lead to satisfy a user request.

Correct Answer: C — An alteration to a baselined deliverable, plan component, or controlled project document

Explanation: A change affects items under formal control and must follow the change control process, including documentation, impact analysis, and approval.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
