In an agile environment, where would scope, schedule, and risk plans be incorporated?

What are baselines?
What three elements make up the performance measurement baseline?
The parts of the project management plan that are used to compare the project’s actual performance against planned performance.

Describe the three main categories of change requests.
Corrective action: Actions taken to bring expected future project performance in line with the project management plan
