Change control procedure relates to all processes that are carried out to make sure that changes in projects are carried out effectively. Proper change control procedure will make sure that each stakeholder will have a say in how changes are carried out.

Below you will find a generic change control procedure that might be useful:
Identification of potential change:
This can happen when customer requires a new functionality, when a customer encounters a problem or when the customer proposes that a change be made.

Analysis of change request

At this point it is important that the project manager analyze whether the change is feasible or not. For instance it is important that the benefits do not exceed the cost.

Change evaluation

At this point a change committee will be set up to investigate whether the change should be carried out or not.

Planning for change

Proper plan should be made on how the changes should be implemented. For instance there are companies that might want to implement their changes in one go while others may want to do it little by little.

Implementation stage

Proper control should be made on the implementation of the change to make sure that everything is done according to the plan.

Reviewing

The project manager should make sure that all verifications are made properly and that everything is done according to plan. Then the change cycle is completed.

Change control procedure can be quite simple and at the same time can be rather complex. It will all depend on the nature of the change and the project.
