All projects experience change and managing change is a critical element of project management. A formal Change Control process should exist because:

a$.$ Rejection of the change request can occur early in the project.

b$.$ It is the link or conduit between strategy and the team.

c$.$ It ensures that all change requests are approved and documented properly.

d$.$ It allows for documented changes to be considered in an integrated manner so the team can adapt plans throughout the project.

e$.$ None of the above apply.
