The change control approach defines how products should be controlled and protected during the project.
The accreditation of the 'classroom-based training materials' was planned to take place during stage 2
At the end of the stage, the configuration item record shows that the 'classroom-based training materials' have been accredited.
However, the project manager decides to request an audit of the product as well.

A. B. C. D.B.
The appropriate answer is A. Yes, because the project should verify that the recorded status reflects the actual status of the products.
Explanation: The change control approach is a crucial aspect of project management, as it outlines how products are controlled and protected during the project. It is important to ensure that the recorded status of products in the configuration item record reflects their actual status.
In this scenario, the classroom-based training materials were planned to be accredited during stage 2, and the configuration item record shows that they have been accredited at the end of the stage. However, the project manager decides to request an audit of the product as well.
This decision is appropriate because an audit will help to verify that the recorded status of the classroom-based training materials reflects their actual status. It is possible that the product may have been recorded as accredited, but some issues or defects may have been identified during the audit, which would require corrective actions.
Answer B is incorrect because the change control approach specifies how changes to products are managed and controlled, but it does not specifically address how configuration item records are approved.
Answer C is incorrect because while it is important to tailor the change control approach to the project, the decision to request an audit of the product does not contradict this principle.
Answer D is incorrect because issue management and change control procedures are related but distinct procedures. The decision to request an audit of the product is related to change control, not issue management.
