Seven Keys to SuccessTM
Think of all the bad things that can happen to a project if changes are not managed. And then think of how the Seven Keys will be negatively impacted. Scope will be unknown. Work will not be completed on time and on budget. Team members will not know what they are supposed to be doing. New risks will arise and existing risks will become more severe. And finally, stakeholders will be surprised when the deliverables do not match their expectations.
When analyzing each change request, determine how the change will impact each of the Seven Keys.
