Definition – What is a Change Control Process?
Change control follows four steps: formal change request submission, team review and discussion, final definition of options with response documentation, and decision-making with proper approval from authorized client stakeholders. Documentation must answer five critical questions: what change is needed, why it's necessary and what happens without it, expected outcomes and prerequisites, deadlines, and how the change adds value to customer experience or precision.
