PROJECT NAME Change Log

This log is used to record and track project change requests. Change requests are requests made by external stakeholders or a member of the team to change the scope, costs, methods, or other planned aspects of the project. This log includes all change requests
made over the life of the project, including those that are approved, those that are denied, and those that are still waiting for a decision. Do not delete change request information from this log: it is a permanent record of project change requests.

Tips:
1. Change the title of this document by clicking "View" in the Tools Menu and selecting "Header and Footer" and then "Custom Header".
2. All (i) new change requests; (ii) change requests waiting for a decision; and (iii) change requests that were approved or denied in a period should be recorded in the Project Status Report for that period.
3. Receiving change requests and updating this log should be part of an ongoing change control process with clear roles and responsibilities. See the Change Control Plan Template for suggestions on these.
4. Each change request should be assigned a number as a unique identifier (see left hand column) that does not change over the life of the project and that is also used on the Project Status Report.
5. There should be specific definitions for the terms high, medium, and low. See the Change Control Plan for suggested definitions.
6. If the project uses Change Request Forms and Change Impact Forms as part of its change control process, some of the information in this log can be taken from those forms once they are completed.
7. Options for indicating status in the "Status" column below are provided in the Change Control Process Template.

1. BASIC CHANGE REQUEST INFORMATION 2. CHANGE IMPACT INFORMATION 3. CHANGE REQUEST RESPONSE INFORMATION
