Which TWO documents should be updated when a change request is approved?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the risk register with the change log, thinking that all approved changes automatically update the risk register, when in fact the risk register is only updated if the change introduces or modifies a specific risk.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change log
The change log is updated to record the approval, implementation details, and closure of the change request, providing an audit trail. The project baseline (e.g., scope, schedule, cost) must be updated to reflect the approved change, ensuring all future work and variance analysis are measured against the revised baseline.

Variation 1. A project manager is reviewing a change request that has been approved. The change will affect the project scope, schedule, and budget. Which document should the project manager update first to ensure all changes are captured and communicated?
hard- ✓ A.Change log
- B.Scope statement
- C.Project management plan
- D.Schedule baseline
Why A: The change log is the official repository for recording all approved change requests, including their details and impacts. Updating it first ensures that the change is formally documented and communicated to stakeholders before any baselines or plans are modified. This aligns with the integrated change control process, where the change log serves as the primary communication tool for change status.
