The integrated change control component is essential for ensuring that risks related to new proposed change requests are thoroughly examined within the change control system. This component focuses on managing and reviewing all changes to the project, assessing the potential impacts of those changes, including risks. It encompasses the evaluation of how changes align with project objectives, the identification of associated risks, and the decision-making process regarding whether to implement those changes.

Integrated change control involves the systematic approach to analyzing and formally approving changes while considering their effects across the entire project. This facilitates comprehensive oversight and ensures that any potential negative outcomes related to risks are identified and addressed before changes are enacted.

While risk monitoring and control is about tracking identified risks throughout the project lifecycle, it does not specifically address the assessment of risks for newly proposed changes. Scope change control concentrates more on managing alterations to project scope rather than the holistic evaluation of risks associated with all proposed changes. Configuration management deals with maintaining the performance and functionality of system components but does not directly address change requests and their associated risks.
