Unapproved Change Requests

Change proposals are documented as change requests; until a formal decision approves them, they remain unapproved and must not be implemented.

Key Points

  • Requests for changes are logged as change requests and tracked through change control.
  • No work should start on an unapproved change request.
  • Impact analysis (scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality) is done before a decision is made.
  • Each request is either approved, deferred, or rejected, and its status is communicated and recorded.

Example

A stakeholder asks to add an extra reporting field mid-sprint. The project manager documents it as a change request and queues it for the change control board. Until the board approves it, the team does not modify the backlog or deliverables.

PMP Example Question

Midway through execution, a stakeholder asks the team to immediately add a new feature. The project manager identifies this as an unapproved change request. What should the project manager do next?

  1. Implement the change to keep the stakeholder satisfied.
  2. Record the request, perform impact analysis, and submit it for formal approval before any work begins.
  3. Reject the request and close the ticket permanently.
  4. Ask the team to build a quick prototype while waiting for approval.

Correct Answer: B — Record, analyze impacts, and seek formal approval before implementation

Explanation: Unapproved change requests must not be implemented. They should be documented, analyzed, and sent through the formal change control process for a decision.
