Part A: Module 1-2 Discussion Forums
Managing Project Changes
Why is change management a necessary component of project management? What processes or strategies do you think work best to manage project change?

Recall any tools or techniques you have used to stay organised and keep professional projects on track. Perhaps you created schedules using software like ProjectLibre or Microsoft Project. Or, potentially, you created a task list using MS Word or an application on your mobile device. Maybe, you used an issue tracking software to monitor progress. How have these tools and techniques helped you to manage change?


Output:
Part A - provide an original post by the end of Module 1. Respond to at least two fellow students’ posts by the first half of Module 2.


Part B: Change Management Report
Based upon your readings and discussions on change control, in group or individual, develop a change management report. In your report,

1.    Identify and analyse the time, cost and quality impacts of the change upon the project and the techniques used to manage them
2.    Identify options to satisfy the change request and any associated risks for each change
3.    Complete the change request/control form provided or one that is used from a workplace.
4.    Explain the term scope creep and use examples from your group discussions of tools and techniques that can be used to manage scope creep.
The written part of your Change Management Report should consist of 800-1000 words.
