Change Management Process

Steps

Request Submission (form here: change_proposal_template.xlsx): requested change description, impact and scope; submission of change request
Submission Review: specs verification, resource/asset requirements, cost-benefit analysis, submission approval/disapproval
Development Plan: cost-benefit analysis review, review impact analysis, resource/asset allocation, change process scheduling
Implementation: change processing, finalized schedules, revision implementation
Monitoring and Evaluation: milestone, success/issue monitoring and evaluation; change results assessment; process evaluation for future improvements; reporting findings, communicating evaluation to stakeholders and process owners

prevent “scoop creep” by sticking to the plan
frequent change proposals under same project could be an indication the project wasn't planned well.
