• Project management office (PMO).
4.5.2.2 Meetings
In this case, these meetings are usually referred to as change control meetings. When needed for the project, a
change control board (CCB) is responsible for meeting and reviewing the change requests and approving, rejecting,
or other disposition of those changes. The CCB may also review configuration management activities. The roles and
responsibilities of these boards are clearly defined and agreed upon by appropriate stakeholders and documented
in the change management plan. CCB decisions are documented and communicated to the stakeholders for
information and follow-up actions.
4.5.2.3 change control tools
In order to facilitate configuration and change management, manual or automated tools may be used. Tool
selection should be based on the needs of the project stakeholders including organizational and environmental
considerations and/or constraints.
Tools are used to manage the change requests and the resulting decisions. Additional considerations should
be made for communication to assist the CCB members in their duties as well as distribute the decisions to the
appropriate stakeholders.
4.5.3 Perform Integrated change control: outputs
4.5.3.1 Approved change requests
Change requests are processed according to the change control system by the project manager, CCB, or by an
assigned team member. Approved change requests will be implemented through the Direct and Manage Project
Work process. The disposition of all change requests, approved or not, will be updated in the change log as part of
updates to the project documents.
