2. While reviewing your project's performance, you discover a significant variance. If the issue is not fixed
before the next customer inspection, your project might be canceled. However, after a further review
conducted by the project team, you are glad to hear that bringing the project back on track requires
only a minor correction to a configuration element.
What should you do first?
A. Implement the corrective action
B. Submit a change request
C. Consult the project sponsor
D. Delay the customer inspection
HINT: What is the proper change control procedure when an adjustment to a configuration element is
required?
Question
3. The correct answer is B.
All of the available answers seem like possible options in this scenario, but the question is
specifically asking what you should do 'first'. Although you have already analyzed the situation and
you know what corrective actions are required, you must follow the proper change control
procedure.
A configuration element is a project artifact that has been placed under configuration control. Any
change to a configuration element should be formally controlled and will require a change
request.
Since the question describes a situation requiring a change to a configuration element, the first
thing you should do is submit a change request and have it approved before you can implement
the changes.
