4 - PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT
4.5.3.2 change Log
A change log is used to document changes that occur during a project. These changes and their impact to
the project in terms of time, cost, and risk, are communicated to the appropriate stakeholders. Rejected change
requests are also captured in the change log.
4.5.3.3 Project Management Plan updates
Elements of the project management plan that may be updated include, but are not limited to:
• Any subsidiary plans, and
• Baselines that are subject to the formal change control process.
Changes to baselines should only show the changes from the current time forward. Past performance may not
be changed. This protects the integrity of the baselines and the historical data of past performance.
4.5.3.4 Project documents updates
Project documents that may be updated as a result of the Perform Integrated Change Control process include
all documents specified as being subject to the project’s formal change control process.
4.6 close Project or Phase
Close Project or Phase is the process of finalizing all activities across all of the Project Management Process
Groups to formally complete the project or phase. The key benefit of this process is that it provides lessons learned,
the formal ending of project work, and the release of organization resources to pursue new endeavors. The inputs,
tools and techniques, and outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 4-12. Figure 4-13 depicts the data flow
diagram of the process.
