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.
