Possible Change Request Statuses
When a change request is created, the initial status is Draft. At this point the change request is reviewed to determine whether or not the change should be made. The following statuses exist to assist you in the change request process:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Initial status of a change request. |
| Proposed | If the change request seems likely to result in actual change, it is elevated to the Proposed status. |
| Cancelled | This status is typically used if the draft change request is deemed to not result in change. |
| Expedited | This status is used when objects need to be released for change before the change effects analysis has been completed. Additional affected objects can still be added to the change request carrying this status. |
| Approved | This status locks the change request as a record and releases all affected objects for change implementation purposes. |
| Rejected | This status is typically used if the proposed change request is deemed to be high risk or not implementable. |
| Completed | This status is used to close the change request once all affected objects have been changed. |
