PK0-005 Practice Question: Which document is used to record and track…
Which document is used to record and track changes to project scope and their approval status?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the change log with the issue log, mistakenly thinking that any problem (issue) that affects scope is automatically a scope change, but the issue log is for managing problems, while the change log is specifically for the formal change control process and its approval status.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change log
The change log is the correct document for recording and tracking changes to project scope and their approval status. It serves as a formal, chronological record of all scope change requests, including the date, description, impact analysis, and final disposition (approved, rejected, deferred). This aligns with the PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) guidance for the Perform Integrated Change Control process.
