Explanation

Change management best practice requires that all change requests be formally documented before any other action is taken. Documentation creates an official record that captures the nature, justification, scope impact, schedule impact, and cost impact of the change-forming the basis for formal approval. The sponsor's verbal acknowledgment of impact and budget is insufficient on its own; without documented evidence, there is no audit trail or basis for proper evaluation and approval. Implementing, communicating, or prioritizing the change all come after the change has been formally documented and approved through the change control process.
