Episode 19: Change Control Processes: Request to Documentation

In this episode, we break down the first stages of change control, beginning with the creation or receipt of a change request. You’ll learn how to properly document each request in a change control log, ensuring it captures necessary details for later review. We’ll explain why initial documentation quality directly impacts the efficiency of subsequent evaluation steps, both for the exam and in practice.

We also discuss best practices for conducting preliminary reviews to determine whether a request should move forward. Examples highlight common pitfalls, such as incomplete change descriptions or missing impact information, and how to avoid them. By mastering these initial steps, you’ll ensure change control processes are structured, traceable, and aligned with governance requirements.
