A stakeholder requests a significant modification to the project scope during execution. The project manager evaluates the request and notes it will substantially affect the schedule and budget. Which project document should the project manager update to record this request and its disposition?
The project manager should update the change log. The change log is used to document all requested changes, their evaluation, approval status, and implementation details. It provides a comprehensive record of how changes are managed throughout the project. The issue log tracks problems that arise and need resolution but does not document scope modifications. The risk register is used for potential events that may impact the project negatively or positively. The defect log records flaws or bugs in project deliverables that need correction.
