Figure 5-18. Control Scope: Data Flow Diagram

Controlling the project scope ensures all requested changes and recommended corrective or preventive actions 

are processed through the Perform Integrated Change Control process (see Section 4.6). Control Scope is also used 

to manage the actual changes when they occur and is integrated with the other control processes. The uncontrolled 

expansion to product or project scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources is referred to as scope creep. 

Change is inevitable; therefore, some type of change control process is mandatory for every project.
