What is change request workflow?

Change request workflow is a process of managing changes in a project, which describes how change requests are initiated, evaluated, approved, and implemented.

Main stages of the workflow:

1. Initiation — a interested party submits a change request.
2. Evaluation — the team or project manager analyzes the impact of the change on timelines, budget, quality.
3. Approval — a decision is made to implement or reject the change.
4. Implementation — the change is incorporated into the project.
5. Control — the correctness and results of the changes are checked.

This workflow helps systematically and transparently manage changes, minimize risks, and ensure alignment with project goals.
