CHANGE CONTROL
Introduction
The change control is the systematic approach for management of all types of changes
that are made to the project or product (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The most significant
purpose of the project is ensuring that there is no unnecessary change and every change is
being documented and the services are not unnecessarily disrupted. It also ensures that every
resource of the project is utilized efficiently. Change control is the main component of
change management. It is being conducted as the sequence of steps that start from change
request submission (Leach, 2014). The following report outlines a brief discussion on change
control for Robert L. Frank Construction Company. Proper analysis of changes and option
identification is done in the report.
