Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change log
The change log is the document that records all change requests and their status, including scope changes. According to the project management plan, the change log should be updated first when a change request is submitted, before any other planning documents. Option A (project schedule) is updated only after the change is approved and the schedule impact is assessed. Option B (issue log) is for tracking issues, not changes. Option C (risk register) is for risks, not changes.
