Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardinal changes can either refer to a change in scope, which involves a significant alteration to the original project objective, or a change in quantity, which involves a significant alteration to the original project plan. Both types of changes are important and should be addressed immediately in order to minimize negative impacts on the project schedule and budget. The term "cardinal" does not refer to the size of the change.
