Process Assessment
The biggest benefit of this process is it takes a look at the big picture before making the decision to make a change. This significantly reduces risk associated with project changes. This process can include a change control board which typically is a formally charted group in charge of all aspects of the change control process. 

(Inputs) Change Requests

Change requests are submitted to the project manager or change control board. Change request should provide information concerning the need for corrective action, preventive action or defect repairs. This example is a change request from a group project in PMGT 614 Planning, Directing, and Controlling Projects, written by Jeremy Curbey, Reese Darlington, Braylon Gurnell, Bret Kuhne, and Benjamin Lundy.

Change control tools and techniques are used by the project manager or change control board to determine the course of action for each change request. This example is from a group project in PGMT 612 Leading Projects Across Cultural, Corporate, and International Boundaries, that was written by Jeremy Curbey, Khoi ChuChe, Corey Cowley, Reese Darlington, and Domingo Tuckler. 

(Outputs) Change Log

The change log is a document used to annotate the change requests that have occurred during the project. This example is a change log from a group project in PMGT 614 Planning, Directing, and Controlling Projects, written by Jeremy Curbey, Reese Darlington, Braylon Gurnell, Bret Kuhne, and Benjamin Lundy.
