Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Capture the request in the Issue Register, assess its impact, and process it according to the Change Control Approach.
Why this is correct
All change requests follow formal issue and change control procedures.
- ✗
Reject all change requests automatically to prevent scope creep.
Why it's wrong here
Changes must be assessed rather than automatically rejected.
- ✗
Implement the change immediately to satisfy the stakeholder without logging it.
Why it's wrong here
Implementing changes without logging or assessment violates change control governance.
- ✗
Forward the change request directly to the Team Manager with instructions to build it without approval.
Why it's wrong here
Team Managers cannot build unauthorized changes.
