PK0-005 Practice Question: A project team is working on a construction…
A project team is working on a construction project and is experiencing frequent change requests from the client. The project manager wants to ensure that all changes are properly evaluated and approved before implementation. Which project management process should the project manager implement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'Monitor and Control Project Work' (which involves tracking and reporting performance) with the formal change control process, but the key distinction is that Perform Integrated Change Control is the specific process for evaluating and approving changes, not just monitoring them.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Perform Integrated Change Control
Perform Integrated Change Control (D) is the correct process because it is the formal process within project management that ensures all change requests are reviewed, evaluated for impact on scope, schedule, cost, and quality, and approved or rejected before implementation. This process integrates the change across all knowledge areas and requires documented approval, which directly addresses the project manager's need to evaluate and approve changes before they are implemented.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Monitor and Control Project Work
Why it's wrong here
Monitor and Control Project Work tracks and reports performance against the plan; it does not evaluate, approve or document change requests. It is correct for ongoing status measurement, forecasting and corrective action, whereas change requests require Perform Integrated Change Control.
- ✗
Close Project or Phase
Why it's wrong here
Closing a project or phase finalises deliverables and releases resources once work is complete; it cannot evaluate or approve incoming change requests during execution. It is tempting because closing formally records completed changes, and would be correct at project end to obtain final acceptance and archive change documentation.
- ✗
Direct and Manage Project Work
Why it's wrong here
Directing and managing project work executes the approved plan and produces deliverables; it implements changes already authorised, but performs no evaluation or approval of incoming requests. It is tempting because approved changes are executed here, and would be correct once the change control process has authorised a request.
- ✓
Perform Integrated Change Control
Why this is correct
Perform Integrated Change Control provides a formal review and approval gate, so every client request is evaluated for impact before implementation. It satisfies the stem's constraint that changes be properly assessed and authorised, unlike direct execution or informal tracking. This process owns the change control board and updates baselines once approved.
