Summary

> Manage, prioritise, and allocate resources for both

planned and unplanned changes



Proactive vs. reactive project, and portfolio

management



Formalise and track ad-hoc,

unplanned changes

> Reduce project failures due to

cost and resource re-alignment

for "emergencies"

> Measure and minimise cost and

risk associated with unplanned changed

> More effective delivery estimation and

better on-time delivery record
