Change Request Approval with Project Management Software

Approve Change Request

A formal review of the CRF is undertaken by the Change Approval Group. The Change Approval Group will either reject the change, request more information related to the change, approve the change as requested or approve the change subject to specified conditions. Their decision will be based on the level of risk and impact to the project resulting from both implementing and not implementing the change. This can be monitored using Project Management Templates or project management software.

Implement Change Request

Approved changes are then implemented. This involves:

•    Identifying a date for implementation of the change
•    Testing the change prior to Project Plan implementation
•    Implementing the change
•    Reviewing and communicating the success of the change implementation
•    Recording all change actions in the Change Register.
