Introduction

Few projects proceed from beginning to end without some change in the specified outcome(s) or in the methods used to achieve these outcomes. The introduction of change into a project must be managed carefully, or the project will fall apart. A change committee, consisting of a customer representative, key task leaders, and a financial representative, that is chaired by the project manager must be established at the project's inception. This committee must develop a set of change procedures that will be rigorously followed.
