3.4. Changes in Scope

The scope change process is used to clearly define requests for project and work plan changes. An issue may trigger the scope change control process if it causes an impact to the project’s critical path (duration of the project); it requires a change to deliverables (content, cost); or it requires a change in project resources. Changes in project scope are documented on a case-by-case basis through a formal change request approved by appropriate levels as noted below and signed by the Project Sponsor.
