A project is in progress when the product team requests a change to the scope. The team indicates that this is a minimal change and should not create any problems.
Any change to project scope, regardless of perceived size, should trigger a risk analysis to determine potential impact . The PMBOK® Guide states:
" When a change request is submitted, it should be evaluated for potential impact on project objectives, including risk. Analysis of impact is a best practice before implementing any change. "
This ensures that the team does not overlook risks associated with even “minimal” changes.
