Thanks Cynthia. What's the breakdown of responsibility between the project manager and CCB for analyzing the impact of a change request on other constraints? I'm looking at Rita's book, and it implies that the project manager only examines the impact of a change within a particular knowledge area before submitting a change request. Is the project manager still involved with analyzing impacts on other project areas and identifying the best corrective action even after submitting the change request?

When you use a schedule compression technique, chances are you know you are not going to meet a deadline, and so even though it won't affect your schedule baseline, using this technique typically result in increased risk and/or costs. Therefore, in reality, project manager will do some initial calculation and risk analysis (e.g., staff acquisition, cost of overtime, etc.) to see whether it is viable to use this technique. If there is any impact in cost, change request is needed. If there is no effect (which is very highly unlikely) with any of the baselines , then you don't have to submit a change request.

If I decide to implement a schedule compression technique, do I need to submit a change request even though I know the results of that action won't change my schedule baseline? Put another way, do you submit change requests when you're unsure if an action in a particular knowledge area will affect the baseline or planned performance of another knowledge area?
