It is a process which must be carried out during the
project Management or to be planned during the project
planning stage to list the actions to be taken in case of
any requirement changes arises. This term is used while
communicating with the stakeholders. For example, “If there
are any changes in the system requirements we need to
Readjust the goal and milestones” and if the stakeholders
ask, we should be able to list the planed steps for the
process, which depends on the project in hand.
