I have examined their construction in detail to demonstrate that they serve the same general purpose, which is to provide a basis for organizing and effectively running a project. Effective project management must involve responding to changes that inevitably occur in every project activity.<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Will the documents constituting the project also change as a result? Definitely yes.<\/strong> These documents contain a project plan (PRINCE2\u00ae methodology) or base plans (<em>PMBOK\u00ae Guide<\/em>), and of course plans change. US President Dwight Davis Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War II, is credited with the phrase: &quot;A plan is nothing, planning is everything&quot; (originally: &quot;When preparing for battle, I always realized that plans are useless , but planning is essential\u201d). <strong>Can we therefore afford to approach planning documents in a relaxed manner? Definitely not.<\/strong> <em>PMBOK\u00ae Guide<\/em> w odniesieniu do planu <a href=\"https:\/\/pmexperts.com\/en\/training\/\">project management.<\/a> stwierdza: Nim elementy bazowe planu zostan\u0105 zdefiniowane, plan zarz\u0105dzania projektem mo\u017ce by\u0107 korygowany tak wiele razy jak to konieczne. \u017baden formalny proces nie jest wymagany w tym czasie. Jednak\u017ce kiedy zdefiniowanie element\u00f3w bazowych nast\u0105pi, to mo\u017ce on zosta\u0107 zmieniony jedynie poprzez proces Prowad\u017a Zintegrowan\u0105 Kontrol\u0119 Zmian (ang. Perform Integrated Change Control). W konsekwencji wnioski o zmian\u0119 b\u0119d\u0105 tworzone i poddane pod decyzj\u0119, kiedy tylko zmiana jest wnioskowana. W wyniku powstaje plan zarz\u0105dzania projektem, kt\u00f3ry jest stopniowo rozwijany i doprecyzowywany poprzez kontrolowane i zatwierdzane uaktualnienia a\u017c do zako\u0144czenia projektu.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#039;s take a closer look at the Drive Integrated Change Control process, which is covered in section 4.6 in <em>PMBOK\u00ae Guide<\/em>. Already in its first sentence we read that &quot;(...) it is the process of reviewing all change applications; Approving and managing changes to products, project documents and the project management plan; and communicating decisions made.\u201d The next paragraph states: &quot;the process is carried out from the beginning of the project to its completion and is the primary responsibility of the project manager. <strong>Can we find its equivalent in the PRINCE2\u00ae methodology? Definitely yes.<\/strong> It is the procedure for controlling issues and changes. It includes the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Register, i.e. specify the type of issue (it may be: a request for changes; a deviation, or non-compliance; a problem\/concern), determine its importance\/priority, register the issue;<\/li>\n<li>Assess i.e. assess the impact on the project objectives, business case and risk profile of the project, check importance\/priority;<\/li>\n<li>Propose, i.e. identify, options and recommend options;<\/li>\n<li>Decide, i.e. escalate if the granted permissions are exceeded, approve, reject or postpone the recommended option;<\/li>\n<li>Implement, i.e. take corrective actions, update records and plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These steps are, of course, to be taken by the project manager. <strong>But is the project manager the right person to decide on every change request? Definitely not.<\/strong> The above-mentioned &quot;Decide&quot; step in the procedure recommended by the PRINCE2\u00ae methodology also means &quot;escalate&quot; if the granted rights are exceeded. The project manager, not having sufficient authority to introduce a change, will therefore turn to the steering committee or a person or group of people designated by the steering committee who will act as a &quot;change authority&quot;. <em>PMBOK\u00ae Guide<\/em> states similarly: \u201cEach documented change request must be approved, deferred, or denied by the responsible person, usually the sponsor or project manager. (\u2026) If appropriate, the Conduct Integrated Change Control process may include a change control board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To conclude this part of my considerations, I will quote two more important quotes, one from each of our &quot;revealed books&quot;. Sentence concluding the second paragraph of section 4.6 <em>PMBOK\u00ae Guide<\/em> reads: &quot;The level of change control used depends on the area of application, the complexity of the specific project, contractual requirements, and the context and environment in which the project is conducted.&quot; Let&#039;s add the second sentence from section 11.3.2 of the PRINCE2\u00ae manual: &quot;It is important that the approach to project change control supports effective decision-making and does not create unnecessary problems or bureaucracy.&quot; It is definitely difficult to add anything more to this consistency between the two books.<\/p>\n<p>Author: Maciej Krupa<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous entries in the series:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pmexperts.pl\/pmbok-guide-vs-manual-prince2-zarzadzanie-integracja-projektu-cz-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>PMBOK\u00ae Guide vs manual PRINCE2\u00ae \u2013 Project integration management part 2 <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/pmexperts.pl\/pmbok-guide-vs-manual-prince2-zarzadzanie-integracja-projektu-cz-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>PMBOK\u00ae Guide vs manual PRINCE2\u00ae \u2013 Project integration management part 1<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/pmexperts.pl\/cykl-zycia-projektu-pmbok-guide-vs-manual-prince2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Project life cycle -
