• Ensure that the changed services from Project to Operations within the predicted cost, quality and time estimates

• Ensure that the changed services meet the Architecture, tools, process, supporting knowledge, training, MIS updates, benefit metrics capture as defined in the Service Design Package

• Ensure the change management process is defined and complied by all parties
