Project Management: Change Control (Definitions)

"Identifying, documenting, approving or rejecting, and controlling changes to the project baselines." (Project Management Institute, "Practice Standard for Project Estimating", 2010)

"A process for managing requests for change in an auditable way, to ensure that only appropriate changes to the project are undertaken once it has received approval. Also ensures that where changes are authorised, appropriate additional resources are allocated. " (Mike Clayton, "Brilliant Project Leader", 2012)

"A formal procedure that is used to approve and manage all modifications to software and hardware running on the network. Change control is usually coordinated by a change control board (CCB)." (Mark Rhodes-Ousley, "Information Security: The Complete Reference" 2nd Ed., 2013)

"A process whereby modifications to documents, deliverables, or baselines associated with the project are identified, documented, approved, or rejected." (For Dummies, "PMP Certification All-in-One For Dummies" 2nd Ed., 2013)

"A process that ensures potential changes to the deliverables of a project or the sequence of work in a project, are recorded, evaluated, authorised and managed." (Chartered Institute of Building, "Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development" 5th Ed, 2014)

"The process of controlling the changes that take place during the life cycle of a system and documenting the necessary change control activities." (Adam Gordon, "Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK" 4th Ed., 2015)

"A systematic approach to managing all changes made to a product or system. The purpose is to ensure that no unnecessary changes are made, that all changes are documented, that services are not unnecessarily disrupted, and that resources are used efficiently." (William Stallings, "Effective Cybersecurity: A Guide to Using Best Practices and Standards", 2018)
