Governance and Change Controls

Project changes during the development life cycle can be costly and impact other parts of the project. Managing changes once the requirements and specifications have been approved necessitates project governance. In this assignment, you will investigate project governance and the change control process. 

Consider the workflow that you have been developing in the latest meeting with your client. The client has requested several significate changes to the workflow. In addition, the workflow is needed 3 weeks earlier than anticipated.

Write a 750-1,000 word paper that address the project governance and change control process. Include the following in the paper:

How will these changes impact the project budget, scope, and timeline?

What are some alternatives to the changes to this project?

What policies should be in place to control project changes?

What are the implications of not following change control policies?
