The Change Effective Date for a Change of Position must fall within which date range?

• A. The Projected Begin Date and Projected End Date
• B. The Projected Begin Date only
• C. The Projected End Date only
• D. Any date within the project duration

Answer: (A)

The timing of a Change Effective Date must line up with the project’s active window. It should occur after the project has begun and before it ends, so that the change happens while the project is being planned and executed.

This keeps the change within the project’s governance, ensuring all approvals, resource allocations, and dependencies are still in play. If you chose only the begin date, you’d rule out making valid changes later in the project. If you chose only the end date, you’d allow changes after the project has effectively closed. Saying “any date within the project duration” is similar in spirit, but specifying the range between the projected begin and end dates makes the requirement precise and unambiguous.
