Practice: Team Change Management |
|
 |
This is a practice for capturing change requests that are managed as part of work item management. |
|
Purpose
At any time, any member of the team may uncover defects or propose new requirements that are not in scope for the
iteration. There should be some process for tracking such requests, so that they do not get lost. This practice
simply captures such requests as work items, and assumes that work item management practices will address the
acceptance, assignment, verification, and closure of such requests.
|
Main Description
This practice describes the simplest possible change management approach, one in which change management is an integral
part of project management. In this approach, any one may request a change to the system (or supporting
artifacts) at any time, either to correct a defect identified or to add an enhancement. The request for change is
captured on the backlog of outstanding [Project Work]. During project planning the team reviews the backlog,
prioritizes work and decides which changes will be implemented next.
