Scope Change Control System Development Checklist and Worksheet

Overview & Purpose

A scope change control defines the procedures by which the project scope may be changed. It includes the paperwork, tracking systems, and approval levels necessary for authorizing changes. The scope change control should be integrated with the integrated change control and, in particular, with any system or systems in place to control product scope. When the project is done under contract, the scope change control must also comply with all relevant contractual provisions.

Scope change control helps to manage the process of deciding on, implementing, and documenting changes to project scope.
