What does the MCC stand for?

• A. Modification control chart
• B. Master control chart
• C. Modification control catalog
• D. Module control chart

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested here is recognizing what an acronym stands for in change-control and configuration-management contexts. MCC is used to denote a Modification Control Chart, a tool that records and monitors changes to configurations or modules so that modifications go through an approved, traceable process. The chart helps show what was changed, when, by whom, and what status the change is in, which supports accountability and reduces the chance of unapproved tweaks slipping in.

This term makes sense in contrast to the other phrases. A Master control chart would imply a broader, overarching chart rather than one focused on changes themselves. A Modification control catalog sounds like a listing or catalog of changes rather than a chart used to visualize ongoing modification activity. A Module control chart shifts the focus to modules rather than to the controlled modification process itself. In ECMS practice, the established use is Modification Control Chart, hence that is the best fit.
