PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Task 1: Project status report
1.1 Project integration management
The scenario reflects that in spite of the planning in the project, it is reflected that the
entire project faces a number of scope changes within the project from the starting of the
project. It is analyzed that this generally resulted in several challenges within the project as
the project plan needs to be changed from time to time. In order to resolve this issue, the
project manager must take the responsibility of successfully managing the work of the project
effectively [1]. The project manager must focus on effective steps such that the scope
changes within the project can be effectively managed or handled in the initiation, execution
as well as planning phases of the project.
It is found that in order to deal with the scope changes within the project, it is quite
necessary to understand the changes that are needed within the project in order to ensure that
whether the changes are really needed for the success of the project or the project can be able
to achieve its goals and objectives without that change in the project [4]. It is found that the
after verifying the need of the change within the project, it is quite important to determine
how the change that will be implemented within the project will create impact. If the changes
in the project impact the project negatively then the changes within the project must be
avoided [2]. Thus, it is found that the changes within the scope of the project can be avoided
to some extent if proper review is done on the impact that will occur on the project after the
change will be undertaken. In addition to this, the changes within the project must utilize
proper formal procedure that must include proper decision making procedure that generally
helps the project stakeholders in making proper informed decision.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In addition to this, it is found that scope changes within the project should be avoided as
most of the time changes within the project scope negatively impacts the project and this is
because both the time and budget of the project gets increases. The steps that the project
manager generally follows for avoiding the changes within the project it is very much
necessary to undertake a number of steps [3]. The first and the most important steps are to
document the requirements of the project quite effectively. This step is time-consuming to
record the requirement but it is necessary to know the requirement so that the project
requirements can be prioritized as per the needs as well as demands. After understanding of
the project requirements, it is very much necessary to set up proper change control procedure.
Setting up proper change control procedure reflects proper review as well as approval of the
project changes [12]. The changes that are needed in the project should be reviewed for
analyzing its need and after proper review, approval for the changes in the project is generally
provided.
Thirdly, development of project schedule is helpful in avoiding scope changes. It is found
that by utilizing the requirements for developing proper detailed task lists of the project are
generally needed for delivering the entire project quite successful such that it will be able to
reflect all the needs of the project with proper time when the activities associated with the
project will generally get completed [4]. By using the schedule of the project, the project
manager generally can cross reference against the requirements for making sure that they
have added everything as per the requirement and the project will accomplish its objectives.
After the entire schedule is outlined, the contingency related with the planned project is very
less. In the last step, it is important to verify the scope with the project stakeholders.
Checking the scope helps in providing understanding about the requirements [1]. Meeting
with the project sponsor also be arranged for share the documentation that is created after the
verification of the project scope with the help of the team members in order to take
