6.7.3.3 change requests

Schedule variance analysis, along with review of progress reports, results of performance measures, and
modifications to the project scope or project schedule may result in change requests to the schedule baseline,
scope baseline, and/or other components of the project management plan. Change requests are processed for
review and disposition through the Perform Integrated Change Control process (Section 4.5). Preventive actions
may include recommended changes to eliminate or reduce the probability of negative schedule variances.

6.7.3.4 Project Management Plan updates
6
Elements of the project management plan that may be updated include, but are not limited to:

• Schedule baseline. Changes to the schedule baseline are incorporated in response to approved change
requests (Section 4.4.3.1) related to project scope changes, activity resources, or activity duration
estimates. The schedule baseline may be updated to reflect changes caused by schedule compression
techniques.

• Schedule management plan. The schedule management plan may be updated to reflect a change in
the way the schedule is managed.
• cost baseline. The cost baseline may be updated to reflect approved change requests or changes caused
by compression techniques.

6.7.3.5 Project documents updates

Project documents that may be updated include, but are not limited to:

• Schedule data. New project schedule network diagrams may be developed to display approved remaining
durations and approved modifications to the schedule. In some cases, project schedule delays can be
so severe that development of a new target schedule with forecasted start and finish dates is needed to
provide realistic data for directing the work, measuring performance, and measuring progress.

• Project Schedule. An updated project schedule will be generated from the schedule model populated
with updated schedule data to reflect the schedule changes and manage the project.
• risk register. The risk register, and risk response plans within it, may also be updated based on the risks
that may arise due to schedule compression techniques.
