Change Management System
According to the PMBOK Guide 6th edition, Change Control is focused on identifying, documenting and controlling changes to the project and the project baselines. In the change management system, you manage the changes related to the project scope, planning, and baselines.
For example, you run out of money, and you need additional funding to complete the project, therefore, you will raise a change request for additional funds. Or you may not be able to complete your project within the specified time and require a time extension. In the change management system, the change request is analyzed for any possible impact on any other project objectives. Afterwards, the request is either approved or rejected.
To minimize disruption, a change management system must ensure that all parameters are identified and analyzed for any possible impact. If the change request is approved, you will update the concerned baseline, update the project documents, and inform the concerned stakeholders.
Change Management Activities
You do the following during change management:
- Identify the changes.
- Prepare a proper documentation for the changes.
- Review, analyze, and make a decision for the change request.
- Make sure that request is implemented, registered and communicated.
