Change Control & Risk Management
Change Control
During the lifecycle of the project, all changes are carried out through change control procedures. Changes are defined as "those activities not included in the scope of work or which alter the scope of work". The change control procedure is initiated by the client and is recorded by the project manager and analyzed for implications on functionality, design, schedule, resources, etc. Once the impact on the project has been evaluated, the change request and the impact analysis are presented to the customer for approval.
Risk Management
Risks are identified at various stages: contract review, project planning, and project execution. Both internal and external risks, probable time and impact are identified and tracked on a regular basis. This allows the project team to make sure that all risks affecting the course of the project are known and managed. Mitigation strategies are identified for each risk and a contingency plan is defined to handle them.
Project Management is the art of balancing competing objectives, managing risk, and overcoming constraints to deliver, successfully, a product which meets the needs of both clients and end users.
This workflow focuses mainly on the specific aspect of an iterative development process. Our goal is to make the development process easier by providing:
- Appropriate frameworks for managing software-intensive projects.
- Practical guidelines for planning, staffing, executing, and monitoring projects.
- A framework for managing risk.
