Change

An alteration made to any baselined deliverable, a component of the project management plan, or a project document that is under formal control.

Key Points

  • Applies only to items under formal configuration or baseline control.
  • Documented through a change request and analyzed for impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk.
  • Requires approval through the defined change control process (e.g., CCB) before implementation.
  • Once approved, triggers updates to baselines, plans, and related documents, and must be communicated to stakeholders.

Example

A sponsor asks to add a new compliance report after the scope baseline is approved. The project manager logs a change request, performs impact analysis on cost and schedule, seeks CCB approval, and if approved, updates the scope baseline, schedule, and reporting deliverables.
