-A cost baseline from a previous similar project that's used to assess potential changes to the current project
-A request to correct a scope overrun after a team member added functionality not required to a product, affecting time and schedule forecasts
-A change control procedure for fast tracking and important change
-A request that the widget cutting process is changed after quality control processes find a high number of widgets larger than specification
Change requests generated as a result of monitoring and control activities become an input the Perform Integrated Change Control Process

1) It uses accepented deliverables from the Validate SCope processes as inputs. 2) The project management plan, created or updated through the other processes, in an input to the close project or phase process
What is Monitoring & Controlling?In general, monitoring means watching the course, and controlling means taking action to either stay the course or change the wrong course. You monitor the project by generating, collecting, and distributing information about project performance against the baselines. Performance reports are used to monitor and control the project work. Deviations of performance results from the plan might indicate that some changes to the original project plan are required. Other change requests might come from stakeholders, such as expanding the project scope by adding new requirements. You control all these changes by influencing the factors that generate them, processing them through a system called the integrated change control system that contains a process called the Perform Integrated Change Control process, evaluating their impact across the project, and ensuring the implementation of the approved change requests.In addition to the schedule activities that need to be executed, the project management plan also contains a list of risks and the risk management plan. You monitor the risks by looking out for the risk triggers (the alerts that tell you a risk has occurred or is about to occur) for the already identified risks and by identifying new risks as the project progresses. You control the risks by executing the risk response plan and taking corrective and preventive actions. Quality is an integrated part of any project. Therefore, monitoring and controlling the project work includes controlling the quality. All these aspects of the project are monitored and controlled by using two high-level processes that belong to integration management: the Monitor and Control Project Work process and the Perform Integrated Change Control process. This also includes administering the procurement part of the project, which is another high-level process by its virtue.

Project managers need a method for identifying changes Project managers should implement only approved changes Project managers must address changes promptly Project managers' main activity in change control is reviewing, assessing, and approving or rejecting change requests
Change control refers to the process of evaluating and approving changes to a project plan, while change management involves the overall strategy and communication of how changes will be implemented and integrated into the project. In simpler terms, change control focuses on the approval of changes, while change management deals with how those changes are handled and communicated throughout the project.
According to the PMBOK, there are two processes in the Project Integration Management Knowledge Area that fall in the Monitoring & Controlling phase.They are:Monitor & Control Project WorkPerform Integrated Change Control
-Project managers need a method for identifying changes -Project managers should implement only approved changes -Project managers' main activity in change control is reviewing, assessing, and deciding on change requests -Project managers must address changes promptly.
