PK0-005 Practice Question: After a change request is approved, the project…

After a change request is approved, the project manager updates the project baseline. Which document must also be updated to reflect the impact of the change on project risks?

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA often tests the distinction between reactive documents (issue log) and proactive documents (risk register), so the trap here is confusing a change's potential future risks with current issues that have already materialized.

Correct answer & explanation

Risk register

When a change request is approved and the project baseline is updated, the risk register must also be updated because the change may introduce new risks, alter the probability or impact of existing risks, or render some risks obsolete. The risk register is the formal document that captures identified risks, their analysis, and response plans, so any baseline change directly affects the risk profile of the project.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Issue log

    Why it's wrong here

    Issue log records problems that have occurred, not potential risks.

  • Risk register

    Why this is correct

    The risk register tracks identified risks and their status after changes.

  • Lessons learned

    Why it's wrong here

    Lessons learned are captured after project phases or completion.

  • Stakeholder register

    Why it's wrong here

    Stakeholder register lists stakeholders, not risks.
