The steps involved in change control SCM vary depending on the specific

organization and the type of change being made, but there are some general steps
that are common to most processes.

1. Change request initiation

The first step is to initiate the change request. This can be done by anyone, such as
a customer, a developer, or a manager. The change request should be documented
in a clear and concise way, and it should include the following information:

● A description of the change


● The reasons for the change
● The potential impact of the change
● The estimated cost and schedule for the change

2. Change request assessment

Once the change request has been initiated, it is assessed by a change control
board (CCB). The CCB is a group of people who are responsible for evaluating
change requests and making decisions about whether to approve or reject them.
The CCB will consider the following factors when evaluating a change request:

● The impact of the change on the product, the project, and the organization
● The risks and benefits of the change
● The estimated cost and schedule for the change

3. Change request analysis

If the CCB approves the change request, the next step is to analyze the change in
more detail. This involves developing a plan for implementing the change, identifying
and mitigating any risks, and estimating the cost and schedule for the change in
more detail.

4. Change request implementation

Once the change request has been analyzed, it can be implemented. This involves
making the necessary changes to the product, the project, and the organization. It is
important to communicate the change to all stakeholders and to track the progress
of the implementation.
5. Change request closure

Once the change request has been implemented, it is closed. This involves verifying
that the change has been implemented correctly and that it has achieved the desired
results. The CCB will also review the change request closure to learn from any
lessons that were learned.

In addition to these five steps, there are a few other things that are important to keep
in mind when implementing change control SCM:

● Communication is key. It is important to communicate with all stakeholders


throughout the change control process. This will help to ensure that everyone is
aware of the change, that any concerns are addressed, and that the change is
implemented smoothly.
● Change control should be integrated with other SCM processes. Change
control should be integrated with other SCM processes, such as version
control, configuration management, and release management. This will help to
ensure that changes are managed effectively and that the integrity of the
system is maintained.
● Change control should be flexible. The change control process should be
flexible enough to accommodate different types of changes and different levels
of urgency.

Change control SCM is an important process for managing changes to software


systems. By following a well-defined change control process, organizations can
minimize the risks associated with change and ensure that changes are
implemented in a controlled and coordinated manner.
