Dealing with Change Requests and Issue Management

Project managers may not always welcome change in a project due to possible resource relocations, budget mishaps, and delayed deliverables. However, having an evaluation process and guidelines can help project managers handle any changes that may arise. To assess a change request, project managers should consider the impact of the changes and evaluate if there is a way around it, if it requires more money, and if all stakeholders are on board. They should also create a log to hold people accountable and ensure that issues are addressed efficiently. A SaaS PM solution, like Planview AdaptiveWork, can help streamline change and issue processes by providing a standard plan, allowing real-time decisions about resources, budgets, and timelines, and enabling project managers to respond quickly and accurately to project changes and issues.
