Course Objectives
1. Understand key terms and definitions related to change management for construction projects
2. Understand the difference between contract change, project change, and objective “scope” change
3. Learn how to apply the essential techniques for managing change
4. Change is often not welcome but we must manage it, so how to do so effectively – be adaptive to changing requirements
5. Learn about the essential component of a change management system for all project phases and stages
DESCRIPTION
This course will focus on change in project management; project related changes and not organizational change management.
This course covers all types of change that we encounter on projects such as contract related changes, project change (not limited to a control), and project objective “scope” changes.
In this course will also examine the need for a proper change management system and the advantages of a change control board. We will also emphasis the need for change management from project authorization to completion and not limiting change control from the point of project funds approval. In other words, exercise project change control during the development phases of a project where the risk of scope “creep” and undocumented changes is high.
