Change Management Plan

Question: Identify and Analyse the time, Cost and Quality Impacts of the Change Upon the Project and the Techniques used to Manage? Answer: Project constraints A change management plan is usually developed to manage the changes during the implementation of a project. The plan helps to control the variations during implementation, to avoid cost overruns, poor quality and time mismanagement ("What is change control? - Definition from WhatIs.com", 2017). The change will target the information technology department. The change has no defined time for the implementation. Quality will be considered though it is depended on the cost of the evaluation. Change management plan guidelines Primary guidelines Framework of the plan Project management components Secondary guidelines Quality Time cost Techniques and tools used to manage the impacts It is expected that the plan will help manage the cost maintain quality and reduce the time taken to complete the project. The project is expected to manage the cost to avoid overruns through the help of forecast budgets (Westland, 2017). Time taken to finish the project, will be computed with the help of the CPM chart (Critical Path Method) which will provide the exact time the project is to be completed as well as provide room for amendments in case of changes. Quality will be observed throughout the project by conducting a continuous evaluation at each and every stage of the project ("PMA - 3.Plan - Develop Quality Management Plan", 2017). Roles and responsibilities Implementation and evaluation of change will be headed by the project manager. Other responsibilities will include; Accept and execute the request for change Timely undertake evaluations of the change impact and the constraints as well as the deliverables. Provide the available options and the best course of action to be prioritized in the change. Provide timely decisions Record changes in the project change documents and Communicate the changes to the team ("What is change control? - Definition from WhatIs.com", 2017). Change management process Change request submission; a request for change is lodged by completing a change request form. The request includes the realized risk that calls for a change. Change evaluation; the leader in change evaluations is tasked with the duty of evaluating the changes. The evaluation is expected to take less than a fortnight. Decision making; before the end of the fortnight, the lead change evaluator may request for more evaluation, reject the request or approve the changes. Recording the changes; the project manager is responsible for integrating the significant changes into the change documents. Communication of the changes; changes will be communicated to the team during meetings. The rest of the stakeholders will be informed about the changes on a monthly basis through the monthly report("PMA - 3.Plan - Develop Quality Management Plan", 2017). Alternative option The alternative to the adoption of the new technology would be to higher more expertise. The experts are expected to deliver quality manage time as well as cost. The risks associated with such an alternative include; Increased project cost Redundancy Unreliability and Lack of sustainability ("The case for change management - Costs and risks," 2017).
