Operates in two key areas
Change may significantly affect either or both of:
- The actual schedule and plan in terms of having to modify some aspects of the Project Notebook (or Terms of Reference document), or
- Cause a modification to the project deliverables.
Project deliverables refers to ‘all’ deliverables. That is, for tasks, stage boundaries (milestones) and the project final product.
These are discussed in more detail next.
