Module 2 Discussion
The Situation: You have been hired as the project manager to
construct a custom home. The owners have asked for some “minor changes” such as
relocating two electrical outlets, adding a refrigerated wine cabinet that will
require an electrical connection, and adding gutters to the outside of the
house. The owners have seen the price list for these changes and are agreeable.
The owners also requested that an internal wall be relocated. Unfortunately,
the wall is load bearing which means that the architect and structural engineer
must modify the plans and the local building department must approve the
modified plans. The key members in your project team are the architect,
structural engineer, and framing subcontractor. The redesign by the architect
and engineer will take about two weeks. The building department needs two weeks
after you submit the revised plans. You don’t have a price for the relocated
wall.
The Assignment: Refer
to Section 5.6 of the PMBOK® Guide,5th ed. Prepare a response consisting of a
minimum of 500 words. Describe how you would perform control scope and prepare
change requests for the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Include at
least three credible references in addition to the PMBOK® Guide with at least
one of these being a peer-reviewed journal article. Properly cite your
response.
