When a project sponsor requests additions to the project scope, it is essential to follow a structured change management process. Creating a change request for the CCB is a critical step in this process. The CCB will review the proposed changes, assess their impact on the project's objectives, constraints, and overall benefits, and then make an informed decision on whether to approve, reject, or request modifications to the change123.
This ensures that all changes are thoroughly evaluated and aligned with the project's goals and resources.
