Question 115

Smith, the project manager for a larger multi-location firm, is leading a software project team that has 18 members, 5 of which are assigned to testing. Due to recent recommendations by an organizational quality audit team, the project manager is convinced to add a quality professional to lead to test team at additional cost to the project.

The project manager is aware of the importance of communication for the success of the project and takes the step of introducing additional communication channels, making it more complex, in order to assure quality levels of the project. What will be the first project management document that Smith should change in order to accommodate additional communication channels?

    Correct Answer: C

    When adding new communication channels due to the inclusion of a new team member, the first document that should be altered is the Change Control Document. This document outlines the procedures for managing changes within the project, covering aspects such as team structure modifications and updates to communication plans. It ensures that changes are formally acknowledged and systematically managed.

Discussion
johndoe69Option: C

Change Control Document: The introduction of a new team member (the quality professional) and the addition of new communication channels constitute changes to the project. The change control document outlines the process for managing changes to the project, including changes to the team structure, communication plans, and other project elements. This document should be updated first to formally acknowledge the change and describe how it will be managed. WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) document: While the WBS might eventually need to be updated to reflect the new team member's tasks, it is not the first document to change in response to the communication channel adjustment.
