Understanding Change in Project Context

This lesson explains what “change” means in a project setting and why it must be managed deliberately rather than treated as a surprise. You will learn how change can come from scope, stakeholders, assumptions, constraints, risks, and external conditions, and how each type of change affects a project differently.

The lesson also introduces the difference between normal project variation and true change, the project life cycle points where change is most likely to emerge, and the practical mindset needed to recognize change early without reacting impulsively.
