Scope Change Question confusion

Submitted by pan_ajay on Tue, 02/26/2013 - 07:38

I have got multiple anserws for the same question that I am going to discuss. It would be great if somebdy can help

Q: You are about to comeplete the project and Customer asks for a change in scope.What would you do

a. Ask the customer that its late now and you cannot do this

b. Analyse the impact of reuirement in the scope

c. Implement the change

d. Get the change go through change control procedure.

I have read somewhere that PM should do any changes in steps below:

-- analyse the scope &  impact change

-- document the change

-- let it go through CCB

-- if approved , update the baselines document and implement it.

as per this, I think 'b' should be the choice but its saying 'd'. I know 'd' is a choice if 'b' is not there

please give your opinion.

sequence sdbe like this. 

  1. -- document the change = D. Get the change -----
  2. -- let it go through CCB =------------------------------------go through change control procedure 

               -- analyse the scope &  impact change

               -- if approved , update the baselines document and implement it.

Hello Pawarji,

So is it analyse the scope &  impact change comes after change control procedure?

What i know is impact analysis comes before CCB procedure.

Please correct me if am wrong.

 in option D

meaning of get the change  --- get change request from customer 

again option D saying - go through cc procedures-====== it involves all steps as below

--------------------

steps:

document

analyse impact

aware to customer

put to ccb

follow ccb

option B ) says Analyse the impact of reuirement in the scope.This tatement is not very clear to me .what is  impact of requirement..it should be impact of change and not only in scope but cost and schedule too

so i would think option D)should be correct.

I think most of yu are correct in saying the Answer should be 'd'.
