PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT  \nInstruction:  \nThis section provides the purpose of the document.  \nRecommended text:  \nThe purpose of this document is to outline the change control approach for \u003CInsert Project Name> . It provides standard terminology, clear roles and responsibilities, a detailed description of the approved change control process, and the standard templates used in that process. It is designed to guide the project team and stakeholders.  \n2. OBJECTIVES OF CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS  \nInstruction:  \nThis section provides readers with the objectives of change control.  \nRecommended text:  \nThe objectives of the change control process are as follows:  \n􀀁 Ensure that changes to the project have a strong business justification.  \n􀀁 Monitor and control the cost and other impacts of approved changes.  \n􀀁 Obtain the appropriate level of approval for changes.  \n􀀁 Ensure that project changes are understood and that team members do not begin work on new or unplanned tasks before change requests are approved.  \n􀀁 Maintain a clear and accurate record of changes made over the life of the project.  \n3. TERMS, ACRONYMSAND ABBREVIATIONS  \nInstruction:  \nThis section informs readers where they can access the definitions used in this document.  \nRecommended Text:  \nAll terms, acronyms, and abbreviations used in this document are defined in the Project Management Glossary [at](at www.qnpm.gov.qa)[ ](at www.qnpm.gov.qa)[www.qnpm.gov.qa](at www.qnpm.gov.qa).  \n4. APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR CHANGES  \nInstruction:  \nThis section outlines who has the authority to approve change requests. In determining decision-making authority, consider the following:  \n1. A Project Manager often has the authority to approve change requests under certain limits. What should these limits be? Does the project require a Change Control Board? If so, which change requests should it have the authority to approve or deny?  \n2. Who is governing the project (Sponsor alone or Sponsor with Steering Committee)? Which change requests should be reviewed and approved by the Sponsor and/or Steering Committee?  \n3. Who is funding the project? How should the project funder be involved in change request decisions?  \nExample One: Simple  \n\n| Role | \u003Cbr>Approval Authority for Changes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Project Manager | Approves or denies changes with a low impact. Low impact changes are those that affect the project budget or schedule by under 10% . |\n\nChange Control Plan – Preparation Guidelines Page 1  \n\n| Role | \u003Cbr>Approval Authority for Changes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Project Sponsor | Approves or denies changes that are high impact.
