Change Management Plan

A section of the project management plan that sets up the change control board, defines the scope of its decision-making authority, and explains how the change control system will be carried out.

Key Points

  • Establishes the change control board (CCB), its membership, roles, and decision rules.
  • Defines how change requests are submitted, analyzed, approved or rejected, and recorded.
  • Specifies authority limits, escalation thresholds, response timelines, and communication steps.
  • Describes tools, artifacts, and interfaces with the change log and configuration management.

Example

On a hospital IT upgrade, the plan names the CIO, project manager, and clinical lead as the CCB, sets a 5-business-day decision SLA, requires impact analysis on scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk, and mandates that approved changes are baselined and communicated via a weekly change bulletin.

  4. Change Management Plan
