Project Change Request Template

Change management is an integral part of project management. Most projects span months, even years, and during the course of a project, requirements and project circumstances change. As such, a comprehensive change management process is necessary to keep the project budget, schedule and organizational goals in line with project work. The below template will assist the project manager in building a change management form.

Key elements of a change template include:

• A description of the change
• The reason for the change request
• Description of impacted project elements
• Known issues or risks
• General recordkeeping: Date, timestamp, name of requestor, name of project manager, names of key staff involved in the change request

If in doubt, document it!
