PK0-005 Practice Question: After a change request is approved, the project…
After a change request is approved, the project manager updates the project management plan. This is an example of updating which type of document?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between the document that records the change (change log) and the document that defines the process for managing changes (configuration management plan), leading candidates to confuse the two.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change log
The change log is the document that records all change requests, including their approval status and resulting updates. When a change request is approved and the project management plan is updated, that action is recorded in the change log to maintain a historical record of changes. This aligns with the PMBOK Guide's guidance that the change log is a key output of the Perform Integrated Change Control process.
