Monitor and Control Project Work collects performance data, analyzes variances, forecasts trends, and recommends corrective or preventive actions. It ensures the project remains aligned to the plan and business objectives. Perform Integrated Change Control is the governance process that reviews, approves, defers, or rejects change requests and manages updates to baselines (scope, schedule, cost) and the Project Management Plan. Option A confuses project controls with HR. Option C ignores PMI’s distinct processes, and Option D narrows domains incorrectly. CAPM fundamentals highlight the interplay: monitoring reveals variances; proposed changes are formally submitted; the Change Control Board assesses cross-constraint impacts; approved changes trigger plan/baseline updates and communication; execution then proceeds under the new baseline. This closed-loop cycle maintains configuration integrity, enables auditable decisions, and avoids scope creep or “shadow changes.” Effective organizations define clear thresholds for when changes require CCB review and track decision cycle time to keep responsiveness high.
