Revise the Plan

If there are significant changes in the project deliverables, schedule, budget or approach, the project plan s to identify. This is also done at the end of each major life cycle phase. The purpose is to revise the project plan is to accommodate significant changes, so that the documented plan reflects the plan in use by the project Team. This is the task of the senior manager to reviews the change to project plan and approve those changes. 

The following guidelines should be followed while making changes as follows.

1. No one is allowed to change anything in the project without knowing others.
2. Every change must ensure quality.
3. There should be a formal change control system on the basis of which the project s changed.
4. The project should be flexible so that changes can be made easily.
5. Records will be properly maintained after change and also revised plan should also be ready.

A project that will need to manage changes to the project scope or the product description and design should have a configuration management plan at the outlet.

The process of controlling and documenting change for the development system is called Configuration Management. Configuration Management is part of the overall change management approach. It allows large teams to work together in stable environment while still providing the flexibility required for creative work. 

Here, we will discuss Configuration Management and Change Control and will cover objectives for both of them. Also, will focus on the process of change control, and later in this section, will discuss how we can revise the plan and what guidelines need to follow to make changes in the plan in project management. Let’s discuss one by one.
