Why each option
Before a change request can be reviewed, it must include alternative options so decision-makers can evaluate different approaches to addressing the requested change.
Stakeholder sign-off is not a prerequisite for submitting a change request for review - it may be required after approval, not before consideration.
Alternative options must accompany a change request because reviewers need to evaluate different approaches before making a decision. Providing only a single proposed change without alternatives limits the review board's ability to assess trade-offs and select the best path forward. This is a standard component of a complete change request submission in project change control processes.
A requirements document is an existing project artifact that informs the project baseline, not a document that must accompany a change request submission.
Customer acceptance is part of deliverable sign-off and project closure, not a component required before a change request can be reviewed.
