Changes are an inevitable part of project management. Highly detailed documentation limits the negative impact of unforeseen changes by outlining the smaller impacts on each process. Scope creep, if properly controlled can lead to some great improvements in a project’s final deliverables. This Change Request Form provides detailed information on the risks and requirements of each change, giving the Project Manager adequate information to make decisions on how to best control project scope creep.

Sections include:

• Type of Change
• Change Description
• Systems Involved in the Change
• Business Unit Impacted by the Change
• Office Locations Impacted by the Change
• Estimates

This tool gives the project manager a good estimate of the risks, priorities, and time required to make the change.
