This video helps us in visualizing how to change request flows among various processes.
What is a Change Request? It is a tool for a change in the established plan or project document. So we should have a plan in place before we raise a change request.
Initiating and planning group has nothing to do with Change Request. These process groups don’t take change request as input & most of the time not as output (Procurement planning being an exception).
Executing and Monitoring & Control process groups deal with changes. In this video, you will see how the change request gets generated at various places.
In Executing Process Group you may or may not realize Change Requests. Change Requests goes directly to Integrated Change Control for further action. In case you don’t realize any change then the output is Work Performance Data (WPD), which go to the respective Knowledge Area Controlling Process. Here WPD can either generate another change requests or Work Performance Information (WPI). In the case of WPI as an output, it goes to Monitoring & Control where there are 2 possibilities, one is change request being generated, else Work Performance Report is generated. In the case of Change Request, it goes to “Approve/Reject/Deferred.”
Once a change request is received, the project team should not act on it immediately. They should first do impact analysis, it is then sent to respective stakeholder for decision making followed by a decision on the change requests. CRs can be approved, reject or deferred. Then these changes are logged in ChangeLog, a repository of detail of all the changes.
Then based on the changelog update, the project management plan is updated followed by communicating it to respective stakeholders.
