CAPM Practice: Determine how to document project controls of predictive, plan-based projects

The project manager, working with relevant subject matter experts (technical leads, schedule planners, cost estimators), is responsible for analyzing change impact. The analysis covers how the proposed change affects scope, schedule, cost, quality, risks, and resources. The PM presents this analysis to the CCB to enable an informed decision — the PM doesn't decide, but provides the analysis that enables the decision.

**Why not A:** The PMO may provide frameworks and templates for change management, but it is not typically responsible for performing individual change impact analyses. That hands-on analytical work falls to the project manager and subject matter experts who understand the specific project context.

**Why not B:** While the requesting stakeholder should provide business justification for their request, they are not responsible for analyzing the technical impact on scope, schedule, cost, and risk. That analysis requires project-specific knowledge that the PM and technical experts possess.

**Why not C:** The sponsor is a decision-maker who may approve or reject changes, but the detailed impact analysis work is not their responsibility. The sponsor relies on the project manager's analysis to make informed decisions, not the other way around.
