PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager documents a change request and…
A project manager documents a change request and updates the change log. Which step of integrated change control is being performed?
⚠ Common exam trap
PK0-005 often tests the ordering of ICC steps, and candidates confuse 'documenting the change' with 'evaluating the change' — the log entry always precedes impact analysis.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change request documentation and logging
Integrated change control is a process with distinct sequential steps: documenting the change request, logging it in the change log, evaluating impact, obtaining CCB approval, and updating the project plan. The scenario explicitly states the PM documents the request and updates the change log, which maps directly to the 'change request documentation and logging' step. This is the formal capture phase before any analysis or approval occurs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Updating project plan
Why it's wrong here
Updating the project plan occurs only after a change is approved and implemented, so it cannot describe merely documenting a request and updating the change log. That earlier activity is the submission step. Plan updates would be correct following CCB approval, when baselines and schedules are formally revised.
- ✗
Evaluating impact
Why it's wrong here
Impact evaluation happens after the request is documented, when the team assesses scope, schedule and cost effects. The stem describes only recording the request and updating the change log, which is the submission step. Evaluating impact would be correct once the logged request is analysed for its consequences.
- ✓
Change request documentation and logging
Why this is correct
Documenting the change request and recording it in the change log constitutes the documentation and logging step of integrated change control, where requests are formally captured before review, approval, and subsequent implementation within the project.
- ✗
CCB review
Why it's wrong here
Documenting the request and updating the change log is the recording step, which precedes CCB review. The board convenes afterwards to approve, reject or defer the submitted request. CCB review would be correct once the request is formally tabled for a decision, not while it is merely being logged.
