PROJECT PLANNING AND BUDGETING1
Effect on project schedule due to change in project scope
Scope change states that after defining project scope, at the time of execution of project if
project scope changes and that change in the project is to be managed, controlled as well as
documented within the project. This is sometime also known as scope creep. Scope creep can
occur when a member of project team changes the scope at the time of performing the tasks
(Pheng, 2018). Scope creep can also occur at the time of reviewing the requirement of the project
when project stakeholders might include extra requirement in the project.
In the Vehicle Maintenance facility case study, the project scope is decided and all
requirements are gathered from the client. Project management plan is to be developed for the
project and the contract for the project is fixed priced and fixed scope management. There is no
way to change the scope of the project.
For a change in scope in a project, project timeline and the cost of the project might
increase. This might result in dissatisfaction among the clients or stakeholders of the project. The
scope change might result in missing the deadlines, having budget overrun and might even result
in project failure (Lampa et al., 2017). With addition of extra work as well as increase the
requirement for the project might increase the budget and impact on the resources of the project
and not delivering the project in target time.
Communication of project manager to communicate scope change
Project might include stakeholders who gets motivated by being informed about the goal
of the project and knowing the project status except knowing the project schedule and budget
(Sanghera, 2019). Scope change might occur in every project and that has to be communicated
properly with the stakeholders associated with the project.
