A brief introduction to change control procedure

July 26th, 2010

Change control procedure relates to all processes that are carried out to make sure that changes in projects are carried out effectively. It is important that all changes are carefully monitored to ensure that no faults are introduced in the system and that previous alteration made is not undone.

Below you will find a generic change control procedure that might be useful:

Change identification

This can happen when customer requires a new functionality, when a customer encounters a problem or when the customer proposes that a change be made.

Change request analysis

The project manager needs to assess whether the change is feasible and that the benefits from the change will exceed the cost.

Change evaluation

Based on the information received from the project manager, the change committee should decide whether to go on with the change or disregard it.

Planning stage

At this point proper planning need to be made on how the changes should be implemented. Some company may choose to implement changes gradually while others might want to implement them in batches.

Implementation

Proper control should be made on the implementation of the change to make sure that everything is done according to the plan.

Reviewing

Proper verification should be made by the project manager to make sure that everything is done according to the plan. Then the change cycle is completed.

This is a simple guide on change control procedure and there can be some more complex ones depending on the project and the firm.
