Introduction to Project Management Processes - Change Control and Issue Management (#5 in the series Introduction to Project Management Processes)
By The Office of Government Commerce - OGC, UK

Any changes that are required during the life of the project must be formally planned and controlled to ensure that the impact of change stays within agreed parameters; there should be a documented change control procedure. The cost, time and quality parameters associated with the project should be established before implementation and monitored throughout the life of the project. All proposed changes should be costed and their effect on the overall project established before they can be authorised to go ahead.

Issue management is closely linked to risk management. Issues such as the potential for conflicting stakeholder views need to be closely monitored through an Issues Log and appropriate action taken if they become risks to the project.
