Change
The Change screen lets you manage a project's change requests: any evolution of scope, schedule or budget compared to what was planned. Formalizing changes protects the project against silent scope creep. You reach it from the Change menu in the project sidebar.
Tracking a change
Each change request carries a status that reflects its lifecycle:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | Request recorded, to be assessed |
| Pending | Under validation / arbitration |
| Ongoing | Validated, implementation in progress |
| Closed | Handled (accepted and applied, or rejected) |
A request describes the desired change, its rationale and its impact (scope, schedule, budget).

Good habit
Link each accepted change to a dated decision: you keep a clear trace between the request, the arbitration and the impact on the project.
