Implementing a change control system in project management is important because it helps to manage and track changes to the project scope, schedule, and budget. This system ensures that any changes are properly evaluated, approved, and documented, helping to prevent scope creep, budget overruns, and schedule delays. It also provides transparency and accountability, allowing stakeholders to understand the impact of changes and make informed decisions. Overall, a change control system helps to maintain project quality, control risks, and ensure successful project delivery.
Managing changes to cost, schedule, and resources - helps maintain project scope. Managing risk and issues - results in the proper handling of events during project execution. Performing project control - requires information about changes to be shared. Implementing the change control process - Keeps the project on track.
The primary purpose of project time management is to develop and control the project schedule. Any project has a timeline by which it is expected to be completed and a well managed project is expected to complete by the set timelines. This is accomplished by performing the following components: 1. Define activities - Identify all the work activities that need to be scheduled to produce the project deliverables. 2. Sequence activities - Identify the dependencies among the activities that need to be scheduled so that they can be scheduled in the correct order. 3. Estimate activity resources - For each schedule activity, estimate the types of resources needed and the quantity for each type. 4. Estimate activity durations - Estimate the time needed to complete each schedule activity. 5. Develop schedule - Analyze the data created in the previous steps to develop the schedule. 6. Control schedule - Control changes to the project schedule.

The change control system in project management helps to manage and track changes to the project scope, schedule, and budget. It ensures that any proposed changes are evaluated, approved, and implemented in a controlled manner. This system helps to prevent scope creep, maintain project quality, and keep the project on track by providing a structured process for assessing the impact of changes and making informed decisions.
Change control is used to manage and regulate modifications to a system or project to ensure that they are implemented effectively without compromising quality, schedule, or budget. It helps to minimize risks, control scope creep, and maintain consistency in the project deliverables.

The project control base typically includes elements such as the project schedule, budget, resources, and scope. However, risk management is not typically considered as part of the project control base, although it is an important aspect of project management.
-Project managers need a method for identifying changes -Project managers should implement only approved changes -Project managers' main activity in change control is reviewing, assessing, and deciding on change requests -Project managers must address changes promptly.
Schedule control has a two-pronged goal; to ensure that the project is progressing on time as planned and to monitor any changes to this progress. As a project manager, you should be out in front of the project, performing the following tasks on a regular basis: • Determining the current status of the project schedule • Influencing the factors that generate schedule changes • Determining whether the project schedule has changed. For ex: if some activities are running late • Managing changes as they occur You detect a schedule change by comparing the execution time to the time in the schedule baseline, which is a major input item into the schedule control process. This is formally called Control Schedule. Controlling the project scope includes influencing factors that create changes to the scope, as well as managing change requests and controlling their impact when the change actually occurs. While controlling the scope, you focus on the following tasks: • Watch out for scope creep - Determine whether it has happened and correct the situation. Scope creep refers to scope changes applied without processing them though the change control process. • Process the scope change requests through the integrated change control process for approval. • Manage the implementation of scope changes after approval, as well as their impact across the project. Controlling cost means monitoring and controlling updates and changes to costs, budget, and the cost baseline of the project. Monitoring and controlling costs has two dimensions to it: expenditure of project funds and the work performed as a result of those expenditures. One major aspect of cost monitoring and controlling is to determine the relationship between the expenditures and the accomplishments. The cost performance depends on this relationship. The other main aspect is to control the changes to the approved cost performance baseline. To be more specific, monitoring and controlling the project cost includes the following tasks: • Influence the factors that can create changes to the approved cost baseline. • Monitor the following: o Work performed against the funds expended o Variance of cost performance from the approved baseline • Prevent unapproved changes from creeping into cost reports and expenditures. • Act to keep cost overruns within the planned acceptable limits. • Ensure the following: o Change requests are dealt with in a timely fashion and managed as they occur. o Expenditures do not exceed the approved budget by period or by total amount. Any change to the budget must be approved before implementation. • Communicate with the appropriate stakeholders about the cost associated with the approved changes. Cost is monitored and controlled by using the Control Cost process
