Change Control

A formal procedure to recognize, log, evaluate, and then authorize or deny proposed changes to project documents, deliverables, and baselines.

Key Points

  • Relies on a defined workflow with clear roles (often a change control board) and decision criteria.
  • Each change request includes impact analysis across scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, and risk.
  • Only approved changes are implemented and baselines are updated; all decisions are recorded for traceability.
  • Works closely with configuration management to maintain version control and auditability throughout the project.

Example

A team member proposes adding a new dashboard. The project manager logs a formal change request, analyzes impacts on scope, schedule, and cost, and presents it to the change control board. After approval, the baseline is updated and the team implements the change; if rejected, the request is documented and not executed.

PMP Example Question

Midway through a project, the sponsor emails a request for an additional reporting feature and asks the team to add it immediately. What should the project manager do next?

  1. Log a formal change request and route it through change control for impact analysis and a decision.
  2. Implement the change to keep the sponsor satisfied and update documents later.
  3. Reject the request because it was not in the original scope.
  4. Ask the team for a quick estimate and proceed if the cost is low.

Correct Answer: A - Follow the change control process

Explanation: Change control ensures proposed changes are captured, evaluated, and approved or rejected before any updates to deliverables or baselines occur.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
