Overview and Rationale
In order to demonstrate proficiency with the content in this course we will complete a number of different assignments to validate your learning – and allow you to implement relevant practices a real-world setting.
Program Level – Student Learning Outcomes:
Describe the importance of the monitoring and controlling process group through incorporation of key tools, techniques, and processes
Explain the change control process and necessary activities associated with project integration
Summarize the processes to monitor project performance using Earned Value Management and other analytics
Use performance reporting to update project progress
Identify techniques associated with managing changes to the project schedule and cost performance baselines
Module 2 Learning Objectives
Establish a process and documentation for integrated change control
Lead the integrated change process
Evaluate and recommend actions to manage project change, using the integrated change control process
Establish a process and documentation for issue management
Refine the project communication plan for Project Monitoring and Controlling
Communicate project issues and changes, their impact, variance, changes, and proposed solutions to stakeholders
Essential Components
This assignment provides the opportunity to build the Project Control Plan. For this assignment, use your project from PJM 1400 or a project you are currently leading at work. Be sure to note the project your work is based on – and provide a short paragraph summary of the project, its success criteria and challenges.
Baseline Change Control process
Create your project’s process for identifying, analyzing, recommending, approving, implementing and communicating changes – What information is necessary and what decision points need to be included in the process? Be sure to consider communication as well.
Consider the roles/responsibilities in each step of the process (did you find additional stakeholders?).
A flow chart/swim lane diagram is a good way to lay out this process.
Include the templates for documentation that is completed through the process – if you build from another template, be sure to cite it. Include a brief overview of how the template is completed (for example, where parts are done in the process, who completes each section and what information goes in each section).
Issue Management process:

Please connect if I can help you!
This work will be used in your Module 2 – Individual Assignment – Part 2 – the Project Control Plan in Action.
The format for this assignment is free choice – you may use Word, PowerPoint (if you use PowerPoint, be sure to add the detail for what you are doing in the notes section below the slide), Excel. If you use a Visio or another graphics tool, be sure to submit your work as a pdf so that I may easily review it. Cite any sources using APA format. The writing style should be concise and straightforward. Please use a 12 point font.
This assignment is due end of Sunday, Module 2.
