Explanation: The change request log records the status of all change requests, approved or declined. The change request log is used as an account for change requests and as a means of tracking their disposition on a current basis. The change request log develops a measure of consistency into the change management process. It encourages common inputs into the process and is a common estimation approach for all change requests. As the log is an important component of project requirements, it should be readily available to the project team members responsible for project delivery. It should be maintained in a file with read-only access to those who are not responsible for approving or disapproving project change requests.
