Change Request Lifecycle Overview

Change Requests progress through various lifecycle stages, which are primarily managed automatically as the workflow advances:

• Draft - The Creator submits a request with all necessary supporting details, data, and justification.
• In Review - The Change Review Board evaluates the proposal.
• Approved - The Change Request is accepted. A Change Order can be created from an Approved Change Request to implement the change.
• Rejected - The Change Request is declined and closed.
• Canceled - The Change Request is withdrawn and is no longer active. If necessary, it can be returned to the Draft state by Change Managers.
• Closed - The Change Request process is considered complete upon manual promotion by the Change Manager.
