What is not true for change requests?

Change requests should always be handled in a controlled and integrative fashion.
Change requests surpassing the formal change control processes can lead to scope creep.
Professionally managed, change requests can help improving a project and resolving emerging problems.
Change requests are always a sign of bad planning and should therefore be avoided.

The correct answer is: Change requests are always a sign of bad planning and should therefore be avoided.

Change requests are often unavoidable and can be necessary for successful project completion. Option D incorrectly suggests that change requests are always a sign of bad planning. In reality, change requests can be made for a variety of reasons, including unforeseen circumstances or new information that arises during the project. While change requests should be handled in a controlled and integrative fashion (option A) and going outside the formal change control process can lead to scope creep (option B), they can also be professionally managed to improve the project and resolve issues (option C). Therefore, option D is incorrect because it is too restrictive and implies that all change requests are negative.
