disciplines will be applied through the use of tried and
true configuration management competencies and the use
of proactive customer sensitivity and communication skills.
When doing this, Project Masters adapts these processes
and procedures in order to meet your particular organization’s
requirements. Figure

Methodology and Figure

methodology.
Project Masters facilitates the development
of an integrated change control system within your organization.
Most problems we have observed in this area are
related to the wrong people asking for the wrong change
and changes being applied without proper authorization.
We will ensure that only those people authorized to request
a change will be allowed to submit those changes.
There will be a clear delineation of authority as to who
can request a change and who can authorize that the change
takes place. Additionally, to be more responsive
to change requests made by stakeholders, We develop a
matrix that clearly shows who is able to authorize a change,
based on the impact of the change measured by the dollar
amount of the change and time required to complete the
change. For example, if the requested change will only
take one hour to complete and cost $100, then a project
team member may authorize the change, and notify the project
manager when the change is completed so the project’s
budget and schedule can be updated. However, if the change
would incur an additional $10,000 in costs and add an
additional two weeks to the project’s schedule,
then the project manager, in coordination and agreement
with the senior staff of the agency, may be the person
able to authorize the change.
With regard to scope verification and formalized
acceptance of a project, we think no project is complete
until the customer is satisfied. By managing an integrated
project plan, we clearly see what objectives have been
met and what objectives still need to be completed. Additionally,
we obtain interim sign-offs on deliverables as they are
completed in order to make the formal overall acceptance
of the project’s deliverables less traumatic. If
this process is left until the end of a project, it often
results in re-work and wasted time.
