How to use the change control process template in Wrike
The change control process template in Wrike makes it easy to assess changes in your projects, approve them as necessary, and manage the change implementation process from start to finish.
Wrike’s change control process template includes these helpful features:
- Streamline intake with automated change request forms
- Organize and prioritize change requests using folders and projects
- Oversee the change management process with customizable workflows
Wrike’s change control process template is simple and straightforward. Our change control format has three simple steps to get you started:
Step 1: Automate change requests
Once you determine the types of changes you typically receive, automate your request organization using Wrike’s simple automated forms that sort requests into folders.
Step 2: Monitor change progress
Using Wrike’s custom fields, you can prioritize requests by change impact, type, and urgency, clarifying which changes need your attention.
Using the custom workflow in Wrike’s change control process template, monitor the progress of each change request as it goes from active to completed or deferred.
Project managers will be able to see the status of each change request and work with team members to remove roadblocks as necessary.
Step 3: Address emergency changes
Wrike’s change control process template also includes a special setting for emergency changes that require immediate attention.
Use the emergency change custom fields to ensure critical updates aren’t lost in a sea of change requests.
