Typical activities in managing individual changes are:
• to create and record the RFC: the change is raised by the individual or organisational group that requires the change;
• to assess and evaluate the change:
• to establish who should be involved in the assessment and authorisation;
• to assess and evaluate the business justification, impact, cost, benefits and risk of changes.
• to authorise the change if appropriate;
• to communicate the decision to all stakeholders, in particular the initiator of the RFC;
• to coordinate change implementation;
• to review (i.e. evaluate the success or otherwise of the change and any lessons learned) and close the RFC.
