How to Manage Change Requests as a Business Analyst

Показать описание

Struggling with how to manage change requests in your organization? Laura Brandenburg discusses a simple 4 step process for managing change requests in project management as a business analyst.

Change requests in software or any project really can often take projects off course if not managed properly. As a business analyst, you can make a huge difference in how change is managed and neutralize the negative energy often associated with change. This is where having a proper process for project change request management comes in.

If you’re looking for this secret process to manage change requests, I’ve got you covered. In this video, I’ll cover my 4-step process which includes determining the scope of the change, analyzing change requests and evaluating the scope of incorporating the change, gaining approval or rejection of the change, and communicating and implementing change requests. The process involves using business analysis skills in elicitation and requirement analysis, creating change request forms with the scope of the change and implementation plan, presenting it to the change approval team, and updating project deliverables with the approved change.

Remember, change is a natural part of any project and should not be seen as a negative aspect. With the right process in place, you can control change requests on a project and keep your project on track. Make sure to use the right tools, like the change request form included in the Business Analyst Template Toolkit, to help start managing change requests more effectively.
