Change Control Board (CCB)

An officially chartered group that reviews and assesses proposed project changes, decides whether to approve, defer, or reject them, and ensures those decisions are recorded and communicated to stakeholders.

Key Points

  • Formally authorized governance body defined in the change control process.
  • Evaluates change requests for impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk.
  • Can approve, defer, reject, or request additional analysis or conditions.
  • Documents decisions and communicates outcomes; baselines are updated only after approval.

Example

During a software project, the client requests a new reporting feature mid-sprint. The project manager prepares an impact analysis showing a two-week extension and a budget increase. The CCB reviews the request, approves it with a revised deadline and budget, and instructs the PM to update the scope baseline and notify all stakeholders.

PMP Example Question

A significant scope change is proposed that will extend the schedule and increase costs. Who has the authority to decide whether the change is approved?

  1. The project sponsor
  2. The Change Control Board
  3. The project manager
  4. The functional manager

Correct Answer: B - Change Control Board

Explanation: The CCB is the formally authorized body that reviews change requests and approves, defers, or rejects them, and ensures decisions are documented and communicated.
