Update

A change made to a deliverable, a component of the project management plan, or a project document that is not subject to formal change control.

Key Points

  • No formal change request or board approval is required because the item is not baselined or formally controlled.
  • Should be recorded through versioning or a revision history to maintain transparency and traceability.
  • Commonly applied to project documents such as the issue log, risk register entries, stakeholder register, or team directory.
  • Must not change baselines or other controlled artifacts; those require formal change control.

Example

After a stakeholder meeting, the project manager adds a new stakeholder and updates contact details in the stakeholder register. The revision is dated and noted, but no change request is submitted because the register is not under formal change control.

PMP Example Question

During execution, a tester adds a newly discovered defect to the issue log and updates its priority without submitting a change request. What is this action called?

  1. Update
  2. Change request
  3. Corrective action
  4. Preventive action

Correct Answer: A — Update

Explanation: The issue log is typically not under formal change control, so revising it is an update, not a formal change request or corrective/preventive action.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Seven sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
