Project Change Management
Project changes are needed when it is deemed necessary to change the scope, time, cost or content of one or more previously approved project deliverables. Most changes will affect the budget and/or schedule of the project.
The Change Management Process is the mechanism used to initiate, record, assess, approve and resolve project changes. The control of changes during a project is critical for the following reasons:
- to manage project scope, schedule, budget and quality;
- to coordinate activities among various team members in a dynamic project environment; and
- to control updates to documentation.
The change management process reviews requested changes in light of the approved project scope, budget and schedule and in light of approved deliverables produced by the systems development process in order to arrive at a decision.
