The objective of the project has not been impacted by external drivers i.e. the sponsor changing scope.  \nOverview Project Change Control Process  \nOverview Project Change Control Process  \nExternal Examples  \n Vendor / supplier changes costs mid project  \n Organisation changes strategic goals  \n Government introduces policies i.e. increased minimum safety requirements  \n Exchange rates change due to economic issues  \nThe principle drivers for external change are inØuences of external factors on the project, which the project cannot inØuence or control.  \nWhat is true about internal and external drivers is that they can all require a change to the project.  \nChange Control Overview  \nThe change control process is the method by which the project manages change in the scope, time or cost.  \nThis helps ensure that when a potential change is identi×ed, the impact is correctly assessed so that an informed decision can be made on accepting or rejecting the change. If accepted the change can then be incorporated into the project.  \nWhy it is Important  \nA project is the mechanism to deliver an agreed outcome within agreed parameters in respect of time, effort and budget.  \nIf change is accepted into a project without agreement from the stakeholders of the impact, this will potentially mean that the delivery of the outcome takes much longer and / or costs more.  \nIf this increase in time and cost is not agreed with the sponsor, they will quite rightly be unhappy.  \nThe change control process ensures that any change is only accepted with the full understanding and agreement of all stakeholders. It can be seen as protecting the project from dissatis×ed stakeholders.  \nChange Control Process Steps There are 5 core steps in a change control process:  \nOverview Project Change Control Process  \nOverview Project Change Control Process  \n1. Identify change  \n2. Impact assessment  \n3. Review change request  \n4. Approve / reject change  \n5. Implement change  \nIdentify Change  \nThis is the method of how a potential change to the project is identi×ed. This can come from within the project team, the sponsor or other internal / external stakeholders.  \nInformation concerning the change, including driver(s), will normally be captured in a change request template.  \nImpact Assessment  \nThis is where the project team takes the change request and then identi×es the impact on the project of incorporating the change. For example, consider how the change can be completed, the resources that will be required, the effort and indication of cost.  \nReview Change Request  \nWhen the impact assessment has been added to the change request template, the change request can then be reviewed by all stakeholders ( not just the project team). The purpose is to ensure common understanding, allow for any questions to be answered and ensure it is accurate.  \nApprove/ Reject Change  \nWhen the change request template is complete and has been reviewed, it can be formally presented for approval atthe appropriate governance forum.  \nBased on the information, a decision can be made if to accept, reject or defer the change. It is also possible that further questions will be raised requiring further work on the impact assessment.  \nImplement Change  \nIf the change is approved","cbCaiver7DvyPbcw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiver7DvyPbcw","pdf",328085,24,"English","# Change Control Overview\n## Why it is Important\n# Change Control Process Steps\n## 1.
