Change is inevitable. Since this is the case, change should not be feared, rather embraced and managed as the book puts it and there are systems and processes to make handling change or alterations to a project feasible.

Change Control is a “Balancing Act”.  When a project’s baseline is impacted by requested or forced adjustments it is important to stabilize operations by keeping the project current and updated. Action is required! Team members must respond to deviation with corrective action. That means that they should be equipped and given authority to do so as well.

Use of reviews, evaluations, logs, and feedback are some tools for maintaining control of a project and ensuring deliverable of intended outcome.
