Work Authorizations
Every Project has scope changes. It is the nature of software development that new ideas come from the discovery process as a project moves from concept to reality. Work Authorizations are the tool for controlling the scope changes. The key work here is control.
Some of the key components of a Work Authorization are:
 | who requested it and when |
| why is it being requested (e.g., need, benefit, etc.) |
| a description of the change |
| Estimated Hours and impact on the Calendar Schedule |
| disposition: rejected, post-implementation review, or approved |
A number of samples will be put here in the near future to illustrate the kinds of scope changes actually encountered and how they were handled.
