monitoring and managing change
closely
• Understand what tools will be used to
manage project change
3

Control Project Changes
In Control Project Changes, 5 PMBOK
processes are used:
•

Monitor and Control Risks
Control Scope
Control Schedule
Control Costs
Integrated Change Control
Monitor and Control Risks
• Process of putting into action all of
the risk planning done earlier
• If a risk event occurs during project
execution, there is a likelihood it was
identified sometime earlier (captured
in the Risk Register).
• It is important to understand that risk
monitoring is intended to be a daily,
on-going process

Control Scope
10
• Effectively managing changes in
project scope, then integrating those
changes across the entire project
through the Perform Integrated
Change Control process
• Scope changes are identified by
utilizing the variance analysis tool
• It is the project manager’s
responsibility to discourage
unnecessary scope changes
Control Scope
This process controls changes to project scope

Control Schedule
• Monitoring the status of the project to
update project progress and manage
changes to the schedule baseline,
then integrating those changes across
the entire project through the
Perform Integrated Change Control
process.
• Some organizations utilize a change
control board (CCB) to evaluate and
approve/disapprove change requests

Perform Integrated Change
Control
• Effectively managing changes and
integrating them appropriately across
the entire project
• Configuration management is applied
in conjunction with change control
processes to control changes to the
project baselines and product
specifications.
22
Perform Integrated Change
Control
• Change control documents and
controls changes to the project
baseline, scope, schedule, cost and
product deliverables baseline
• Change control deals with the
deliverables planned for the project
