You work for a company that provides payroll automation software to its clients. You are creating a program that will automate payroll tasks for small businesses with few employees. You are on track to meet your deadline for the project, and you anticipate having a lot of money leftover in the project budget. Mid-project, you receive a call from the human resources manager at MakeStuff, a company that will use the small-business payroll software. The manager informs you that MakeStuff has decided to offer its employees a 401k investment option and asks whether the small-business payroll program can automatically manage 401k investments. Currently, the project plan does not include that function, but you believe making the addition would be valuable to your business. You are worried about requesting permission to add this functionality for two reasons. First, the deadline for this project is very close, and it cannot be moved. Second, you have created software that automates flexible savings account management, but you haven't automated 401k investments before, and you know they are more complicated. You must fill out a change order form to request this change. Select the best option for each portion of the form.

• Scope of Change

• Add 401k management to the payroll software

• Plan for Change

• To provide every client using the software with the same features

• Risk Analysis

• Using contractor could result in over budget

• Purpose of Change

• Request to hire contractors to implement software to add option for 401k
