What is a Change Request Form?

A Change Form, or Change Request Form, records a request for change to meet a team’s objectives. For instance, a Project Manager may use a Change Form to request a change to the scope of a project. The advantage of using a Change Form to document change requests is that each change is verified before approval. Anyone in a project team should be allowed to complete a Change Form, with the Project Manager ultimately responsible for its approval.

When do I use a Change Request Form?

If you want to request a change to your team, then you should document this request for change on a Change Form. On the Change Form, you can provide the description, benefits, costs, and urgency of the change, as well as the impact of the change. Any supporting documents are attached to the Change Form before being presented to management for approval. Using this Change Form to document change requests, you can control change in your organization.
