Project Controls Strategy & Governance
The learner should be able to design and operate a proportionate project-controls strategy: define what decisions the project needs, identify the information and controls that support them, assign ownership and authority, establish an integrated operating cycle, set escalation rules and verify that the arrangements work in practice. The output is a usable controls plan with clear interfaces, rather than a document that lists every possible technique.

Change Control
The learner should be able to recognise a potential change, record and define it, assess integrated consequences, identify the correct authority, support an approve/reject/defer decision and track implementation to verified closure. They should distinguish a changed requirement from a forecast movement, corrective action, data correction or contractual claim, and preserve these relationships without treating them as interchangeable.

Baseline Change & Configuration Control
The learner should be able to turn a bounded approval into a verified revision of the affected scope, schedule, budget, progress, risk and configuration records. They should preserve previous baselines, maintain relationships between approved, forecast and as-built information, reconcile the revised control model and release the correct version to its users.

Assurance & Control Reviews
The learner should be able to plan and conduct a proportionate review of project-controls data, processes and outputs; test evidence against stated criteria; identify material weaknesses; communicate their consequences; and verify corrective action. They should distinguish management review, quality checks and independent assurance, and express a conclusion that is bounded by what was actually examined.

Claims & Forensic Analysis
The learner should be able to preserve relevant records, define a forensic question, establish a reliable chronology, test cause and effect across schedule and cost, distinguish facts from assumptions and produce reproducible findings. They should understand how project-controls evidence supports claims assessment, dispute prevention and learning, while recognising where contractual interpretation, legal advice or specialist delay/cost expertise is required.
