Project Execution and Control: Changes, Impacts, and Techniques

This paper discusses the processes involved in submitting a report to deal with changes, identifies changes required and their impacts on scope, time, cost, and quality of the project, and discusses options to satisfy change requests and associated risks. The case study of Corwin Corporation and Peters Organization is used to illustrate the concepts. The paper also includes a change request/control form.

2PROJECT EXECUTION AND CONTROL
1. Identify what processes are involved in submitting a report to deal with the changes
necessary from your understanding of the case study
The Corwin corporation is one of the most old and prestigious organisation in the
field of the low cost rubber production and rubber components. While the organisation signed
the project with the peters organisation, the organisation had many plans to develop the
project. The organisation produces plans and takes decisions by the joint undertaking with the
working condition (Kuipers et al., 2014). The process of the developing the delivering
process stated by knowing the problems of the organisation and knowing the specific needs
of the organisation. In order to make the project work in a successful way both the
organisation is needed to understand the problems of both ends. If there is not any proper
understanding there might be loss for at least one of the organisation (Larsson et al., 2014).
The nessacery changes that are required in the process of providing a proper report is to make
sure that the report must not only got the summery of the entire task but all the vital
components are explained to both the parties in order to enhance the business deal. The date
and time of the signing document must be fixed beforehand so that there is less amount of
confusions among both the parties.
2. Identify and critically analyse changes required and the impacts on scope, time, cost
and quality of the project and the techniques used to manage them.
There were many problems in the project plan of that were produced by the Corwins.
These backlogs impacted on the scopes, time, cost and the quality of the products that were
being manufactured. Some of the major problems that affected the project were the
methodology of the project being selected. The Corwins selected the process of the waterfall
model and this became one of the major problems are:
 There were no strong points that were looked promising to the partner farm.

 The Corwins changed the plan of the project continuously and there were no fixed
 The project manager were not capable enough to work in the project properly.
In order to make the project successful these were the main points to be changed the
project development phase. The main changes that were required for the process of the
development of the project is the process of the making the process of the project were
changing the project methodology at first. Other than the project methodology the
changes that are required are the top managers involving in the process of the
development off the project (Uhl & Gollenia, 2016). The deadline of the project must
always be kept in mind that there are positively meet. In order to make the project work in
a successful way both the organisation is needed to understand the problems of both ends.
If there is not any proper understanding there might be loss for at least one of the
organisation.
3. Identify and discuss options to satisfy the change request and any associated risks for
each change.
Change requests are prone to go beyond the scope where agreements reside.
Generally this means that the change that is going to be suggested in the industry has a
possibility that requires more expenditure of funds than usual (Hayes, 2018). This is why the
idea of change management is often opposed due to this, since funds tend to get spent more
than the usual predefined budget. However, there are associated options that would help in
understanding the change associated with the benefit of the company. This would be
discussed in accordance with the case study as follows:
 Determination about the scope of change: The case study has shown that the
entire project had failed because of the inability to impose change in the
project structure. However, with the comparative analysis of the MOM or the

4PROJECT EXECUTION AND CONTROL
Minutes of Meeting, it could be guessed that there was a scope to implement
change that would indeed demand a greater amount of monetary incur, but that
could have saved the project from being cancelled (Doppelt, 2017). Therefore,
it is heavily demanded that the minimalist scope for change needs to be
detected in a project that would help in the betterment of the entire
organization and the clients as well.
 Determination of scope of implementing the change: Once the scope of
change is identified, it is important that the scope for implementing the change
in the organization or the project is identified as well. This is to make sure that
the change implementation does not go vain because of any factor opposing it,
or the change does little benefit to the company.
 Gaining approval or rejection for the change: A company may have
various levels of approval and these must be identified in order to detect
whether the change shall be approved or rejected (Cameron & Green, 2015).
These are however hypothetical examples and in realistic approaches, the
company checks with the stakeholders before approving to a change in the
organization.
 Communication: Communication is essential in any organization while
implementing change (Carnall, 2018). These must go through the following
updates to make the stakeholders of the project understand the impact of the
change according to the state of the project:
o Requirement documentation
o Technical design documentation
o Project plans and scheduling
o Testing plans or test cases

4. Complete the change request/control from provided or one that is used from a
workplace
Change is considered as an ominous word in the industry. However, changes are
rationalized and genuinely required for legitimate business (Pugh, 2016). From the case study
above, it has been seen that the problem identified in the project has been the timing and the
budgeting of the entire project. The project had been signed on the Pearl Harbor Day which
has been considered problematic for the organization.
With regards to this, it can be said that previously it had been found that success of a
project has been regarded as a successful scheduling of the project. The complete changing of
schedule of a project has also resulted in the success of an initially unsuccessful one.
