Integrated Change Control
The process of reviewing, approving, and managing changes to project deliverables and baselines.
Integrated Change Control is a process in the Monitoring and Controlling process group that governs how all change requests are received, reviewed, approved or rejected, and communicated across the project. It enforces traceability by ensuring no deliverable, schedule, or cost baseline is updated without a formally approved change request, protecting the integrity of the project management plan. The key exam nuance is that it is integrated: a scope change must simultaneously be evaluated for its impact on schedule, cost, quality, risk, and resources before approval. Confusing it with the Change Control Board (CCB) is a common trap: the process reviews requests, while the CCB is the body that approves or rejects them.
