manage the requested for changes for some activities in the project (PMBOK, 2013).
Moreover, the activities defined with the project work breakdown structure will be monitored
and controlled in accordance with the industry standard, defined duration and the identified
budget. The project should establish the following scope control activities:

- The impacts on schedule, cost and resource regarding scope changes will be evaluated
- The details of changes, reasons and impacts must be submitted to the project team to
validate, and the assessment will be presented to project director to approve
- Scope changes must be documented in a revised version of the project plan.
- Scope changes related to staffs or funding changes require the project owners’ approval
1.3 Project Schedule
Project schedules will be created using MS Project 2007 starting with the deliverables
identified in the project’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Activity definition will
identify the specific work packages which must be performed to complete each deliverable.
Activity sequencing will be used to determine the order of work packages and assign
relationships between project activities. Activity duration estimating will be used to calculate
the number of work periods required to complete work packages. Resource estimating will
be used to assign resources to work packages in order to complete schedule development.
Once a preliminary schedule has been developed, it will be reviewed by the project team and
any resources tentatively assigned to project tasks. The project team and resources must
agree to the proposed work package assignments, durations, and schedule. Once this is
achieved the project sponsor will review and approve the schedule and it will then be
baselined.
