The change is a regulatory requirement, hence what ever may be the impact of the change on the project, it has to be implemented. Hence, open the change request.

1 - because first I would analyze the impact of the change, then open change and go to change control board...

Hello sspawar,

i like ur approach to answering questions, making appropriate references helps in guidance.

Here, i ask myself: does it mean that any change request from a customer (relating to Govt regulation, and the project is a subsset of a contract) MUST go straight to opening a change control?  Then, what is the role of the PM? EVen I know the change has to do with regulatory policy, which has utmost priority.. But will it not be incumbent on the PM to examine the implications with team mates advice customer?

Thanks as i look forward to hearing from you.
