4.4.3.4 Project documents updates

Project documents that may be updated include, but are not limited to:

• Schedule and cost forecasts,
• Work performance reports, and

• Issue log.

4.5 Perform Integrated change control

Perform Integrated Change Control is the process of reviewing all change requests; approving changes and
managing changes to deliverables, organizational process assets, project documents, and the project management
plan; and communicating their disposition. It reviews all requests for changes or modifications to project documents,
deliverables, baselines, or the project management plan and approves or rejects the changes. The key benefit of
this process is that it allows for documented changes within the project to be considered in an integrated fashion
while reducing project risk, which often arises from changes made without consideration to the overall project
objectives or plans. The inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 4-10. Figure
4-11 depicts the data flow diagram of the process.
