Change Control Process Example

Let’s look at a hypothetical change in a project and go through the five steps that are part of
the change control process. Take something as simple as painting a house. The client
proposes a color change from the agreed-upon white to light green.

1. The change is made during a meeting with the construction project manager, who
creates a change proposal to capture the change.

2. The construction team then looks into what impact the color change will have on the
project. Did they already purchase the white paint, is the green paint more
expensive, etc?

3. After researching its impact, the project manager will make a decision. If going
forward will impact the budget, then the client will be consulted.

4. Once everyone agrees, the change is made. The new paint is purchased and applied
to the construction.

5. The client approves the paint job and any cost change, which brings this change
control process to a close.
