Mid-build, the city council votes to add a wing to a community center under a predictive contract. Which process activity best fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Predictive does not mean frozen forever—it means changes go through the gate. Integrated change control is how a mid-build wing addition gets analyzed against cost, schedule, and scope baselines. Scribbling on drawings without a formal path is how baselines die.
Full Explanation
Integrated change control is characteristic of predictive management when scope shifts after baselines exist. A council-directed wing addition must be evaluated for impacts and, if approved, reflected in updated baselines and plans. Silent scope growth or abandoning planning documents undermines plan-based control; forbidding all change is also inaccurate.
