1PROJECT MANAGEMENTIntegrated Change Control: Change control is managing techniques for the all change made to the products orprojects (Harrison & Lock 2017). In the given case study of Quasar Communication INC. manyproblems are arise in many kind of project management study. The problems are mentionedbellow that to be changed:In the R & D project management the main problem is the project manager is doing lotsof work himself like he works with engineering, marketing, product management, qualityassurance, accounting and finance (Heagney, 2016). Everyone from the group needed a detailedschedule for them from the project manager. The project managers miles stone is pushed left bythe marketing as they want to launch it early and the manufacturing pushing to the right as theywant to delay the launch taking more time. The project manager is not able to make two groupshappy at the same time. After making a milestone the marketing cancel the launch as they saidthey had the inside news of the market situation and the products success prediction in themarket. It is near to impossible for the project manager to work if he does not have all theinformation.In the small customer project management the problem arises is not that every project thcomes with the same priority.

The computer programwill set the priorities of the project based on the requirement study, feasibility study, and costeffectiveness. The project manager feels that if the project is of low priority then the projectmight not get sufficient resources needed (Lock, 2014).Justification to the Required Changes:For the R&D project management, the person with whom the project manager is workingis to be trained first about their job role and what they exactly need to do.
