A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge PMBOK ® Guide Third Edition 98 2004 Project Management Institute, Four Campus Boulevard, Newtown Square, PA 19073-3299 USA Every documented requested change must be either accepted or rejected by some authority within the project management team or an external organization representing the initiator, sponsor, or customer. Many times, the Integrated Change Control process includes a change control board responsible for approving and rejecting the requested changes. The roles and responsibilities of these boards are clearly defined within the configuration control and change control procedures, and are agreed to by the sponsor, customer, and other stakeholders. Many large organizations provide for a multi-tiered board structure, separating responsibilities among the boards. If the project is being provided under a contract, then some proposed changes would need to be approved by the customer. Figure 4-8. Integrated Change Control: Inputs, Tools Techniques, and Outputs
