Scenario: According to Hungry Koala case study, its project scopes are enhancing a new mobile application for Hungry Koala and providing a training to Hungry Koalas employees, riders, and relevant parties regarding the usage of the application.

In the process to complete the project, Hungry Koala needs to purchase some parts of software from its supplier, unfortunately, both parties have an argument during the meeting as they cannot agree on price so that the supplier refuses to trade with Hungry Koala. As a result of this, the company needs to seek to buy parts from others, and this is expected to take at least three (3) weeks. As a result of this, Hungry Koalas top management is worried that it will directly affect in time, cost and quality constraint for the project.

H. Change Control Policies and Procedures

The purpose of this change management procedure is to manage change requests so that approved changes will be controlled, ensuring the project remains on schedule, within budget and provides the agreed deliverables. The primary objectives of change management are to

manage each change request from initiation through to closure

process change requests based upon direction from the appropriate authority

communicate the impact of changes to appropriate personnel

allow slight changes to be managed with a minimum of overhead.

Question 1:

(a) Use a provided table of Decision Matrix to analyse if the scope change will impact on established time, cost, and quality of the project in accordance with the companys change control policies and procedures (This is in section H of a Hungry Koala Case Study).

(b) Interpret numeric information to determine whether this will negatively affect to timelines and outcomes against project scope.

Guideline: You are required to rate in both rows (Project manager and project sponsor). You are encouraged to think in both side opinion as if you were them that you would analyse and decide to monitor the scope change.

Table A: Decision Matrix

Note: please rate by using number 1-5 (1 = not impact on while 5 = severely impact on)

		Increase Budget	Increase Time	Increase risk
The impact of changes and delay in parts of software	Decision by Project manager
	Decision by Project Sponsor

Note: please rate by using number 1-5 (1 = not impact on while 5 = severely impact on)

(c) Following your answer from part (a & b), if you were a top management of Hungry Koala, what you would decide to minimise its impact on the deadline, budget, and quality requirements according to change control procedures.
