CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN TEMPLATE This template allows a project manager to control, manage and monitor change requests that occur throughout the life of a project. This plan defines who has the authority to approve the change requests and sets up a process of how a person can make a change request. It defines the information and justification that is required for each change. Its intent is to ensure that only 'considered' changes are present to the CCB (Change Control Board) or team responsible for changes as defined in the project plan. A project Change Management Plan will be developed in the planning phase of and names the individuals that are responsible and involved in the whole process of recording, managing, assessing and monitoring change requests. The project sponsor and project manager play key roles in this process and the development of this plan. Its purpose is to minimize 'scope creep' by allowing only approved changes to be implemented so any alterations to the project schedule, resources, budgeting, risk assessment or quality control are negligible.
