Project team should consider the following factors when it decides how to resolve a proposed change:

  • What is the expected benefit of the change?
  • How would the change affect the project’s cost?
  • How would the change affect the project’s schedule?
  • How would the change affect the software’s quality?
  • How would the change affect the project’s resource allocation?
  • Would it add work to people already on the project’s critical path?
  • Can the change be deferred to a later stage of the project or a later version of the software?
  • Is the project at a point when making the change would risk destabilizing the software?
