What kind of projects need a Change Control Board?

For your organization circumstances, It is better to hire and establish a CCB.

To answer your question first what is the reason for a change control board.  It is a person or persons who make the determination about allowing a change to some aspect of an existing project that is being managed/measured.  

Some companies have them others don't, while some have them informally.  It really depends on your organization, but it is very valuable to have some one or a group of people make the decision to allow or block a change that a stake holder or customer may ask in the middle of an already approved project.  The purpose is to have a process for controlling the amount of change to a defined plan so that the end goal can still be achieved.

So yes, you should have something or some one, but most importantly a process with clearly defined (legitimate) questions that determine if a change to a project should be allowed, or if a project should be allowed to start in the first place.  I remember helping establish the PMO process at HCSC and the original group of individuals were not focused on the broader goal.  They believed nothing could be called a project unless it was approved by the PMO-CAB.  Well there are always hundreds of small efforts that are more complicated than a simple task that the word Project would encompass.  I told them they did not have exclusive ownership of the word Project and should define the criteria that the PMO-CAB was more interested in addressing (controlling) with formal and rigorous processes (and god awful painful documentation requirements) and focus on that instead of trying to own the term Project.  Eventually we defined what was important to the PMO/CAB and then came up with rules and guidelines for NON-managed (meaning done outside the PMO responsibility) to help people employ better project management methods and techniques without the loads of paper work.

Thank you for the invitation

Companies rarely address the issue of change management or so-called change management, although it is very important for those who want to implement any system in the company, especially ERP systems.

In general, it is the only ongoing process in the institution.

Effective management takes careful steps to manage change smoothly without violent clashes or reactions that affect work performance.

Often the change faces obstacles - most of them psychological - from the staff so it must be a process of change in a healthy way and deliberate in accordance with a clear strategy and gradual.

The importance of change management in the implementation of the ERP system:

The successful installation of enterprise ERP software requires the support of the largest administrative authority in the company and the project manager or application administrator must convince the management of the importance of change and the consequent improvement in the performance of the work. Change.

While you plan to implement an ERP project you may often have to change the organization of work, the distribution of tasks, or the maintenance of the workflow, or other powers ..change_management

Many of the stalled projects that stood on them were due to the neglect of the factor of change, and the problem is that many people want to change the program to understand them, not to change to understand it!

When you want to apply the company's policy without modification to the ERP program whether Great Plains or Axepta or SAP or Oracle or others, you will often have to make many adjustments to the program Customizations and this in itself is not appropriate at all, and may be a solution to the destruction of the success of the application of the system.

Of human beings are resistant to change and enemies are ignorant, so big companies come with human resource consultants on change management, they explain the benefits of automating business and how this will accelerate the completion and efficiency of work

When There are multiple Stakeholder in project and baseline requirements which agreed with client need(s) to be change During the project. If any change is agreed by the committee, it is communicated to the project team and client and the requirement is Baselined with the change

It is better to undertand the change. mould to the given situation by sharpening the experience, learn new concepts that are needed to upgrade, Talk to colleagues, friends and aks their opinion on how to face the situation

 

All projects need change control boards. Small or Large, Simple or Complex.

The objective of the CCB is cater to changes desired by key stakeholders ensure the project is sucessful.

The CCB forum has to be specific for each project as each project is very different from each other and so are its stakeholders.

Hope this answers your query. Please let me know if I could be of further help.

Hello.

A Project without changes ... simply don't.

Of course, in real the ChCB does not exists at least in the firsts steps of a Project meanwhile is going on, over and over.

This is a new chance a Project Manager who is going to be assesed because of his managerial skills: Capacity to build strong relationships with key stakeholders key, his capacity to add value, global vision (end to end) , Organization, Communication and of course Integration.Even  the Project is the Change Itself.

Lastly, the main role of a PM is the capacity to promote changes.

Regards.

I would suggest that if the project is running parallel with design phase due to time constraints and there is a budget in which can be challanged due to further demands from stakeholders, a higher board of senior managers should act on the change control / approval / management board.

Actullay should be for all project small or big if you want to apply the management rules , any changes to the Baseline Requirements agreed with the client, should be taken up by project team on approval from this committee. If any change is agreed by the committee, it is communicated to the project team and client and the requirement is Baselined with the change. The change control board is constituted of project stakeholders or their representatives. The authority of the change control board may vary from project to project, but decisions reached by the change control board are often accepted as final and binding. The decision of acceptance of the changes also depends upon the stage or phase of the project. The main objective of CCB or SCCB is to ensure acceptance of the project (deliverable) by the client.

It is purely based on the situations and circumstances and which should be in favour of the organization.
